Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked grits
  • 2 cups cooked grits
  • 3 eggs, divided
  • 3 eggs, divided
  • 1 cup grated cheddar
  • 1 cup grated cheddar
  • 1 stick butter (not margarine)
  • 1 stick butter (not margarine)
  • A dash of Tabasco sauce
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degree.
  2. Mix warm grits, egg yolks, cheese, butter and Tabasco with a wooden spoon, until everything is well blended. Pour into a deep dish.
  3. There are 2 ways to add the egg whites. When we were first married and I made this recipe I wasn't "cooking wise" enough to know what "fold into egg mixture" meant. I ended up doing it the "wrong" way but my husband loved it so I've made it that way ever since. Option #1 Fold the stiff egg whites into the cheesy grits.
  4. Option #2 Spread the egg whites evenly over the top of the cheesy grits, forming a meringue.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve it warm.
