Season's Eatings: Cheddar & Egg Grits
Thursday my Season's Eatings parcel from Paula of Half Baked arrived. We already tried the Moon Pies and today I served
My son was pleased, a vegetable free lunch to his taste. I also liked it. Thanks again Paula and Katie. Just a few minutes after uploading the picture to flickr my dear friend Kayte left a comment: OMW, you're cooking southern American cuisine!. Seems I did it right.
I had to overcome some difficulties.
Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Directions
Preheat oven to 180 °C. In a 3-Litre- saucepan, bring water to a boil; add coarse salt. Stir in the quick-cooking grits; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally until thick and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in butter, cut into small pieces, and shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly whisk eggs into grits mixture, being careful not to let them scramble. Season with salt and ground pepper. Add hot sauce to taste.
Pour mixture into a buttered 20-by-30-cm baking dish. Sprinkle with coarsely grated cheese.
Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
