Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, unsalted, plus extra for greasing the dish
  • 1 head garlic
  • Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for roasted garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper, plus extra for roasted garlic
  • 1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 3/4 cup grits, not quick style
  • 2 eggs, well beaten
  • 8 ounces sharp Cheddar, shredded
  • 8 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded
  • 3 tablespoons pickled, drained and minced jalapeno
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter a 2-quart oven-safe dish.

Cut the top off of the garlic head to expose the garlic. Put the head on a piece of aluminum and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and close. Place the garlic into the oven and roast until soft, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and open to cool slightly before using.

Bring the chicken stock, 1 1/2 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt to a rolling boil in a large pot over high heat. Add the grits and stir well with a whisk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Add the eggs while whisking quickly, and fold in 3 tablespoons of the roasted garlic, the cheeses, jalapenos, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and white pepper. Once the grits are thoroughly combined and smooth, transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.

Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes, then remove foil and cook 10 minutes longer to brown the top.

    This was my first time trying grits and these were amazing! I did use fresh jalapeno instead since it's what I had. I knew with all that cheese and roasted garlic it had to be good!

    Definately the best dinner grit recipe I've ever made. I get the ingredients together beforehand to shorten the prep time. I don't change a thing!!!

    I made sure I prepped everything before even starting the recipe. It is a very easy recipe and I wouldn't change a thing. A new family favorite!
