  • 1 cup Grits (quick Or Regular)
  • 1/2 can (10 Oz. Size) Rotel (Tomatoes And Chilies)

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
  2. Boil water in a medium sized saucepan and add salt. Add grits and stir, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in Rotel, chilies, grated cheese, and cream cheese. Stir in spices and check for seasonings. Add salt if needed.
  4. Beat egg in a small bowl or cup. Drizzle in a couple tablespoons of the hot grits to temper the eggs, stirring constantly. Then dump it all back into the pot and stir.
