Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring 1/2 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the quick-cooking grits, reduce heat to low, and simmer until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 5 minutes to allow the grits to fully absorb the liquid.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cooked grits, evaporated milk, chopped ham, shredded cheddar cheese, beaten eggs, chopped parsley, dry mustard, and hot sauce.
  5. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9 1/2-inch quiche dish or deep-dish pie plate.
  7. Bake in a preheated 350ðF (177ðC) oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Let the quiche stand for 10 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.
