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
• 0 as needed nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray four 8-ounce ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

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).

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Spoon an equal amount of the cheese grits into the bottom of each ramekin, filling them about halfway.

Step 5

Crack one egg into a small bowl, then gently slide the egg over the layer of grits in one ramekin. Repeat for each ramekin.

Step 6

Drizzle ½ tablespoon of heavy cream over each ramekin and sprinkle with black pepper to taste.

Step 7

If desired, top with crumbled bacon and a sprinkle of chopped green onions for extra flavor.

Step 8

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.)

Step 9

Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with additional green onions, if desired, and serve warm.
