Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325°. Grease a small casserole or other deep baking dish with 1 tbsp. of the butter and set aside.

Step 2

Put hot cooked grits into a bowl and stir in garlic and the remaining butter. Season to taste with pepper. Stir in cheese, one-third at a time. Add half-and-half, mix well, then stir in egg. Pour cheese-grits mixture into prepared casserole. Bake until lightly golden on top and bubbling, about 45 minutes. Set aside to cool briefly before serving.
