Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup grits
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped cooked bacon (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray four 8-ounce ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Slowly whisk in the grits, reducing the heat to low. Allow the grits to simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick and creamy (about 5 minutes).
Stir 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the cooked grits until melted and combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Spoon an equal amount of the cheese grits into the bottom of each ramekin, filling them about halfway.
Crack one egg into a small bowl, then gently slide the egg over the layer of grits in one ramekin. Repeat for each ramekin.
Drizzle ½ tablespoon of heavy cream over each ramekin and sprinkle with black pepper to taste.
If desired, top with crumbled bacon and a sprinkle of chopped green onions for extra flavor.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny. (For firmer yolks, bake an additional 1-2 minutes.)
Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with additional green onions, if desired, and serve warm.
