Baked Grits

1 cup grits, reg. or "instant"

1/2 pound grated sharp Cheddar cheese

8 tablespoons butter

3 eggs, well beaten

1/3 cup + 1 Tb milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cook grits according to package directions. Regular grits require 25 to 30 minutes of slow cooking; quick-cooking grits will take 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the cheese, butter, eggs, and milk, and pour into a buttered 3-cup baking dish. Bake 40 minutes or longer, or until set.
Serves 4.
