5 from 1 rating

Ingredients
 

For the Creamy Cheesy Grits

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup yellow corn grits, Arrowhead Mills is my favorite brand
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, I used reduced fat
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

For the Baked Eggs with Cheese Grits

  • 4 eggs
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Instructions
 

For the Creamy Cheesy Grits:

  • In a medium to large saucepan, bring chicken broth to a boil, add grits and reduce heat to low. Cover and let grits simmer for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • When grits have absorbed the liquid, add cream cheese, shredded cheese and salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Stir the mixture well, cover, and remove from heat.
  • Refrigerate grits overnight.

For the Baked Eggs and Cheese Grits

  • Preheat the oven to 350
  • Spray a small baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place the grits in the baking dish and create small wells, carefully crack the eggs into the wells.
  • Bake, checking every 10 minutes until the egg reaches the desired consistency.
  • In my oven, I baked them for 30 minutes and the whites were solid and the yolk was runny.
  • Garnish with bacon, jalapeño, and green onions.
  • To make larger servings you need one cup of cold grits for each egg. Multiply as needed.
