This baked cheese grits recipe is a comforting, savoury dish that brings a touch of American-inspired soul food to your kitchen. Perfectly suited for a vegetarian diet, it combines coarse cornmeal with sharp Cheddar, butter and a hint of garlic to create a rich, golden gratin. The slow-simmering process ensures a smooth texture, while the oven finish creates a beautifully set consistency that is both satisfying and indulgent.
Ideal for a weekend brunch or as a hearty side dish for a Sunday roast, these grits are a versatile addition to any meal. The combination of whole milk and eggs provides a custard-like lightness that balances the sharp cheese flavour. Serve it piping hot from the oven alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh seasonal salad for a complete, homemade vegetarian feast.

Ingredients for Baked Cheese Grits
1450ml water
2 1/4 teaspoons salt
475ml yellow grits* (not quick or instant
350g )
1 stick (110g ) unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoons black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
230g Cheddar, coarsely grated (475ml )
3 large eggs
240ml whole milk
How to make Baked Cheese Grits
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 177°C.
Bring water and 3/4 teaspoons salt to a boil in a 4-quart heavy pot.
Add grits in a slow stream, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and gently simmer, stirring frequently to avoid sticking, until very thick, about 30 minutes. (Use a long-handled spoon to avoid bubbling and popping hot grits.)
Add butter, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, pepper, garlic, and cheese, stirring until butter and cheese are melted. Lightly beat eggs and milk in a small bowl, then stir into grits until combined.
Pour into an ungreased 8-inch square baking dish (2 inches deep) and bake until set and lightly browned, about 1 hour. Serve immediately.
