How to Make Baked Cheese Grits
- Bring 4 cups of chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of quick-cooking grits.
- Bring the mixture back to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until the grits are thick and creamy.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese, ½ cup of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Add 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, if desired.
- Stir in 2 large eggs, beating lightly beforehand.
- Pour the grits mixture into a lightly greased 2-quart baking dish.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- For stone-ground grits, use 6 cups of chicken broth and increase the cooking time in step 4 to 50 minutes.
