This "pie" is a simple recipe that I'll use again. It's real easy to substitute other ingredients depending if you are using the dish for brunch, breakfast or dinner. Change it up with sausage, bacon. Use Gouda cheese or Parmesan Add in some chopped asparagus for a brunch type dish.
No matter what.....it will be great!
I followed the recipe exactly last night and paired it with sliced tomatoes and fruit topped with a little mixture of sour cream and brown sugar.
1 1/3 cups water or chicken broth (I prefer the broth, but if you use it omit the salt)
1 cup whipping cream
2 garlic cloves, pressed
2 Tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2/3 cup uncooked quick-cooking grits
1 1/4 cups (5 oz.) shredded Swiss Cheese
8 large eggs, divided
1/2 lb. cooked ham, diced
4 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup milk
Garnish with fresh chopped chives
Preheat over to 350 degrees. Bring first 6 ingredients to a boil in a medium saucepan; gradually whisk in grits. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer, whisking occasionally 5-7 minutes. Add 1/2 cup cheese stirring until cheese melts. Remove from heat, and let stand 10 minutes.
Lightly beat 2 eggs, and stir into grits mixture; pour into a lightly greased 10-inch, deep dish pie plate.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes; remove from oven. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
Saute ham and onions in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until onion is tender.
Layer ham mixture over grits crust. Whisk together milk and remaining 6 eggs; pour over ham mixture.
Sprinkle remaining cheese over mixture.
Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes and cut into wedges. Garnish, if desired.
