How to Make Bacon And Maple Grits Puff
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 1 1/2-quart round casserole or soufflé dish.
- Cook 6 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for about 7 minutes, until crispy.
- Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 4 cups of milk, 1 cup of coarse ground grits, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened considerably and is creamy, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of real maple syrup and the reserved 2 tablespoons of bacon drippings.
- Crumble the cooked bacon and add it to the grits mixture.
- In a medium bowl, whisk 2 large eggs lightly.
- Gradually whisk a small amount of the warm grits mixture into the eggs to temper them, then pour the egg mixture into the remaining grits mixture and stir to combine.
- Pour the grits mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
- Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the puff is set and golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve immediately with additional maple syrup and fresh fruit, such as berries or sliced bananas.
