How to Make Kentucky Creamy Cheddar Grits Souffle
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 2-quart souffle dish well. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the shredded cheddar cheese around the sides and bottom of the dish.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup of coarse ground grits. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, stirring frequently. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the grits are tender and creamy.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 4 tablespoons butter, 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, and 4 large egg yolks. Stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Let the grits mixture cool slightly.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the grits mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared souffle dish.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the souffle is puffed and golden brown. The center should still be slightly jiggly.
- Serve immediately!
