Add small amount of hot grits mixture to eggs; mix well. Gradually add egg mixture to remaining hot grits mixture, stirring constantly until blended. Pour into greased 8-inch square baking dish.

Very very good! Go easy on the garlic!! Too much garlic is NOT a good thing with grits. :)

I love grits, and these grits were better than any grits I've EVER had. They are wonderfully cheesy and the grits were the perfect consistency. The eggs were a great twist to the standard cheese grits.
