Ingredients
The following ingredients have 7 Servings
- 1 cup grits, uncooked
- 8 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 6 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, grated and divided
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, snipped
- 1 pinch paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 2-qt baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan and gradually whisk in grits. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently.
- If grits get too thick, ladle in more water, 1/4 cup at a time. Continue cooking until you have 5 cups of soft but thick grits, about 1 hour.
- Let cool slightly, and whisk in eggs and evaporated milk. Add all but 1/2 cup of the cheese, chives, paprika, bacon, salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
- Spread into prepared baking dish and top with remaining cheese. Place dish on top of a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and fluffy in the middle, about 1 hour. Let cool 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
