Smoked Gouda Cheese Grits Soufflé

Previously I posted two recipes for Grits. This is a Soufflé using Smoked Gouda Cheese.
I've just recently become a fan of smoked cheeses. Smoked Gouda may be my favorite.


6 C Water
1 tsp Salt
1 1/2 C Stone Ground Grits
2 Eggs
1 1/2 C (6 oz.) grated Smoked Gouda Cheese
2 TBS Butter
Salt and Pepper to taste

Butter a 2 quart Casserole Dish

In a Saucepan, bring Water and Salt to a boil
Gradually Whisk in Grits
Reduce to Low, cover and continue cooking and stirring for 20 minutes or until thick
Remove from heat

In a bowl, whisk the Eggs
Add 1 C of Grits to the Eggs
Stir Egg mixture into remaining Grits, stir in Butter and Cheese
Season to taste with Salt and Pepper
Continue stirring until the Butter and Cheese have melted

Pour in the Dish and Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, until Golden Brown

Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!
