Being a southerner, myself, I love finding new twists on old, southern food staples. Grits? Who 'woudda thunk' that grits could play a starring role as a side dish on a dinner buffet? Good job, Paula!

This recipe is awesome. I had a friend make it for an office breakfast gathering and I was hooked immediately. I recently made the recipe myself and this is delicious. Unless I am making them for a get together I'll cut the recipe in half if only making for my family. They are great for breakfast or could also be a nice addition to a meal with fried fish or ham. YUMMY!

These are the best grits you will ever eat! I make them on special occasions like holiday mornings or when company stays overnight. They always get rave reviews and I rarely have any leftovers. You don't need to be a Southerner to appreciate these grits!

My first experience with grits was when I was nine years old. On our way to New Orleans from West Virginia, we stopped at a Waffle House where they poured grits over my entire meal, including the toast. My mother sent the meal back because I did not ask for grits, and they just scraped them off and set my plate back in front of me. I vowed to hate grits from that point on until...someone in my sunday school class made these baked garlic cheese grits for us. Out of politeness, I tried them and absolutely fell in love with them. This is still the only way I will eat grits ![]()

An absolute home run. Rich and savory. Easy to prepare. The Vermont white cheddar topping is an excellent flavor compliment.

I started baking these grits a couple of years ago and they are the number one request at every potluck. They are a perfect compliment to ham. LOVE THEM!

I made these grits for my boyfriend when we were first dating. He was born & raised in the South and likes to tease me for being a "damn Yankee" ... When he tasted them, his face lit up and he said ..."WOW! This Yankee can cook Southern style!" ... nearly two years later, he still talks about and asks for these grits!

My 89 year old mother asks me to make this recipe every time I come to visit. I halve the recipe and make it in a non-stick skillet. This recipe is so good! Very good reheated the next day. I have found that I do not need to proof the eggs if I first mix them in with the milk and add them after I put in the cheese and butter.
