Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup Grits
  • 6 cup Boiling water
  • 4 ounce Unsalted butter
  • 6 ounce Sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco
  • 4 Eggs, well beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. 2
    Butter a 1.5 to 2-quart casserole dish or soufflé dish thoroughly.
  3. 3
    Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Slowly whisk in the grits to prevent lumps.
  4. 4
    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.)
  5. 5
    Remove the grits from heat and allow them to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
  6. 6
    Stir in the butter, grated cheddar cheese, sea salt, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper until well combined and melted.
  7. 7
    Gently fold the beaten eggs into the grits mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed without deflating the mixture too much.
  8. 8
    Pour the grits mixture into the prepared buttered casserole dish.
  9. 9
    Bake for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the soufflé is puffed, golden brown on top, and set in the middle.
  10. 10
    Serve immediately while hot and fluffy.
