Baked Garlic Cheese Grits


Ingredients:

6 cups of vegetable broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups regular grits
16 oz. cheddar cheese, cubed
1/2 cup milk
4 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
8 oz. grated sharp white cheddar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 4-quart casserole dish.

Bring the broth, salt, pepper and garlic powder to a boil in saucepan. Stir in the grits and whisk until completely combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer about 8-10 minutes (until grits are thick). Add the cubed cheddar and milk; stir. Gradually stir in the eggs and butter until combined. Pour the mixture into the dish.  Sprinkle with the white cheddar and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until set.
