Kay's Cheesy Garlic Grits

I discovered a recipe similar to this online and made a few adjustments.  It is a perfect side dish for when you are having breakfast for dinner.  I am allergic to seafood, but I bet this would be awesome with some grilled shrimp. Enjoy!


6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
2 cups grits (not quick or instant)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded and divided into 1½ cups and ½ cup
3 large eggs
1 cup whole milk

 Preheat oven to 350°F. Bring chicken broth and water to a boil in a saucepan. Add grits in a slow stream, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and gently simmer, stirring frequently to avoid sticking, until very thick, about 25 minutes

Add butter, pepper, garlic, and 1 ½ cup of cheese, stirring until butter and cheese are melted. Lightly beat eggs and milk in a small bowl, then slowly stir into grits until combined.

Pour into an ungreased 8-inch baking dish (2 inches deep) and bake until set and lightly browned, about 35-40 minutes.  Remove from oven and top with remaining ½ cup cheese.  Bake another 10 minutes until cheese is melted and lightly browned.
