Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
Butter a 1.5 to 2-quart casserole dish or soufflé dish thoroughly.
-
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Slowly whisk in the grits to prevent lumps.
-
Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, for 20 minutes until the grits are tender and creamy. (If using instant grits, follow package directions instead.)
-
Remove the grits from heat and allow them to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the butter, grated cheddar cheese, sea salt, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper until well combined and melted.
-
Gently fold the beaten eggs into the grits mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed without deflating the mixture too much.
-
Pour the grits mixture into the prepared buttered casserole dish.
-
Bake for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the soufflé is puffed, golden brown on top, and set in the middle.
-
Serve immediately while hot and fluffy.
