List of Ingredients




4 c. water
1 tsp. salt
1 c. quick-cooking grits
6 oz. garlic-flavored process cheese, shredded (1 1/2 c.)
1/4 c. butter
1 large sweet onion, cut into thin slivers (1 c.)
1/4 c. milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 c. snipped fresh basil
3 med. tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese (4 oz.)
1 c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese (4 oz.)



Recipe



In a large saucepan, bring the water and salt to boiling. Gradually stir in the grits. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 to 7 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in garlic-flavored cheese and butter until melted. Stir in slivered onion, milk, and eggs. Transfer mixture to a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Bake, uncovered, in a 350F. oven for 40 minutes.

Sprinkle snipped basil over baked grits. Arrange tomato slices over basil. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. Return to oven and bake 5 minutes more. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Makes 8 servings.
