3 c. water
3/4 c. Aunt Jemima quick grits, uncooked
1/4 tsp. salt (optional)
1 beaten egg
1 roll garlic cheese
2 tbsp. butter

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 1 1/2 quart casserole or baking dish. Prepare grits according to package directions. Add small amount of grits to beaten egg. Return grits mixture to pan. Add remaining ingredients. Cook over low heat an additional minute or until cheese is melted. Pour into prepared casserole. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until top is set and lightly puffed. Let set 5 minutes before serving.

This simple-cheesy side dish is wonderful with baked ham and eggs. Garlic gives it added zip!
