Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place chicken broth, water, and garlic in medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to boil and slowly stir in the grits, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat. Mix in pumpkin puree, stirring until thoroughly combined.
- 2. Beat eggs in a separate bowl. Add a small amount of hot grits to beaten eggs and stir well. Then blend all back into the grits mixture. Add cheese, stirring until melted. Season grits with nutmeg, cayenne, salt and pepper.
- 3. Pour grits into a greased cast iron skillet or casserole dish. Bake grits about 50 minutes until set and lightly puffed and brown.
Tips:
- Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use orange juice concentrate, but be sure to dilute it with water to match the amount of liquid called for in the recipe.
- Grate the orange zest before juicing the oranges. This will help release the essential oils and give your grits a more intense orange flavor.
- Simmer the grits for at least 30 minutes, or until they are tender and creamy. Don't rush this step, as it is essential for getting the perfect texture.
- Season the grits with salt, pepper, and butter to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Serve the grits hot, topped with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and nuts.
