Baked Garlic Cheese Grits

Ingredients:
6 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups regular grits
3 (6-ounce) rolls cheese with garlic, or any garlic-cheddar spread, diced (Kraft brand) [Or one block of block of Cracker Barrel brand extra sharp cheddar witht 6 cloves of finely minced fresh garlic.]
1/2 cup milk
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup butter
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar

scallions sliced on the diagonal, for garnish

Preparing the grits:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 4-quart casserole dish.

Bring the broth, salt, and pepper, to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir in the grits and whisk until completely combined. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the grits are thick, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic-cheese and milk and stir. Gradually stir in the eggs and butter, stirring until all are combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with the Cheddar and bake for 45 minutes, or until set.

Sprinkle sliced scallions over the top before serving.
