14475 Jack Cheese and Grits Soufflé 1 hr 5 mins 20 mins 6 to 8 servings Tue Mar 17 21:11:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 17:55:05 -0700 2009 Easy Southern/Soul CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/14475 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 00:55:05 GMT Grits aren't just for breakfast anymore Grits leave the breakfast table in this no-fuss, impressive side. Don’t be fooled into thinking all soufflés are fussy affairs only for experienced cooks. This simple version uses whole eggs and grits to lend texture without being dense. It’s sure to impress dinner guests, and is a perfect mate for a pot roast or a simple green salad.

What to buy: Dry Jack has been aged for about 10 months, giving it a nutty, sharp flavor. If you can’t find it, you can substitute aged cheddar, aged Gouda, or aged Manchego.

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Coat a 2-quart soufflé dish or a deep baking dish with butter and set aside.
  • Place milk in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Add grits and whisk to combine. Reduce heat to low and whisk until thickened, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add cheese, scallions, butter, and salt, stirring until all ingredients are completely incorporated and butter is melted. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Add eggs and stir until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Pour into the prepared dish and bake until puffed and golden, about 45 minutes.
