Jalapeno Cheese Grits
OK, I confess - I’m a jalapeno junkie. I’ll eat anything wth jalapenos. These grits are great any time of day, just as good for dinner as for breakfast. Perfect with fresh fried fish.
4 C water
1/2 t salt
1 C quick grits
1 C (4 oz.) grated sharp Cheddar cheese
8 oz. Monterey Jack cheese with jalapenos, cubed
1/4 C (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 T chopped jalapeno peppers
1 T Worcestershire sauce
Paprika
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish. Bring water and salt to a boil in large saucepan. Stir in grits. Cover; reduce heat to low. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat.
- Stir in cheeses and butter until melted. Add eggs, jalapeno pepper and Worcestershire sauce; blend well. Pour mixture into prepared dish. Sprinkle with paprika, as desired.
- Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until set. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
