Garlic Cheese Grits image

This recipe, originally from the Cornerstone Inn B&B in Gatlinburg Tennessee, had a few problems. Although I liked the flavor, I wanted to tweak it a bit before posting. I have since made changes and found my version much more to my liking, perfect as an accompaniment to any southern or country breakfast. Enjoy!

Time 1h25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup old fashioned grits (not quick cooking)
3 1/2 cups water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces cream cheese, softened (may use low-fat, but not fat-free)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or more, depending on taste)
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cook the grits in the 3 1/2 cups water for about 15 minutes, or until done, stirring frequently (adjust water amount if needed).
  • Mix in butter, garlic, and cream cheese, stirring until blended and butter melts.
  • Allow to cool a little bit.
  • Mix in salt, pepper, cream, hot sauce, and eggs (the eggs are why you don't want this hot at this point, or they will scramble on contact).
  • Place mixture into a greased square casserole dish (or you may use a 8x8 baking pan).
  • Bake at 350F for 55-60 minutes or until set and knife comes out clean.
