- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of oleo (or butter) and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until melted and combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1/2 cup of milk.
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the grits mixture until just combined.
- Pour the grits mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
