Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray.
2 In 10-inch skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until cooked through and no longer pink. Drain well.
3 In 3-quart saucepan, heat water to boiling over medium-high heat. Stir in salt. Stir in grits with whisk, stirring to ensure lumps have been removed. Reduce heat to simmer. Cover; cook 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add Cheddar cheese, cream cheese and pepper to grits. Stir until cheeses have melted. Stir in crumbled drained sausage; mix well. Pour into baking dish.
4 Bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and carefully make 6 indentions in grits using back of large ladle or spoon. Crack 1 egg into each indention. Sprinkle eggs with salt and pepper.
5 Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until whites and yolks are firmly set. Garnish with chives.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

For a different flavor, try replacing the Cheddar cheese with something like Swiss or Gouda.

The casserole is also great without the eggs.

We had this dish tonight. It was great. I'm glad I read the reviews before I made it because 7 cups of water would have been too much. I used 4 cups of water and it was just the right amount. I used spicey sausage. My hubby loved it. Now who's going to clean up the kitchen? :)

This dish was amazing. The only problem is the measurements. The water for the grits was way off base. 7 cups of water for only a cup of grits is so far from what the directions are for grits which is 1 1/4 cup of water for a cup of grits. But you need extra water in the grits because you need to melt the cheese and you don't want it to be sticky or stiff. I think next time I make this (and there will be a next time) I will only use 1 1/2 - 2 cups of water for the grits. Other than that it was so so good and all my company really loved it and knew nothing about how I fixed the water problem (I made more grits and added it to the casserole dish and then baked it and the extra grits worked out well
