How to Make Cheese Grits Souffle
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of coarse ground grits. Reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until the grits are tender and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of cooked crumbled bacon or sausage (optional), 1/4 cup of chopped onion or chives, and 4 large egg yolks until well combined.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the cheese grits mixture until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 1 1/2-quart soufflé dish or oven-safe baking dish.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the soufflé is puffed and golden brown.
- Serve immediately!
