  1. Wow! I've never liked grits before but this is really tasty. My first four eggs sank to the bottom, maybe because I used a deep casserole dish. So once the casserole thickened a bit, I just cracked four more eggs on top. I think next time I might reduce the liquid in the grits, I had to double the cooking time to get it to thicken. Also, the leftover cheese sauce needed another 1/2 cup of milk or so to pour on the casserole after cooking. And I added some chopped parsley. Definitely a few kinks to work out in the recipe, but still a good one!
     
  2. This was a good filling breakfast. It took me longer that I thought for the eggs to cook. Once the whites were cooked, the yolk were hard, so I'm not sure how to remedy that. The cheese sauce was really thick and I added an additional 1/4 milk to thin it out for the top. All in all a good, filling breakfast, saved best for the weekend.
