How to Make Grits Souffle
- Bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of coarse ground grits. Reduce heat to low, stirring frequently, until the grits are tender and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the cooked grits from the heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (your choice!), 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 cloves of minced garlic (or 1 tablespoon of your favorite chopped herb), and 4 large egg yolks. Stir until the cheese and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the grit mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Grease a 1.5-quart casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour the grit mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes, or until the soufflé is puffed and golden brown.
