Thursday my Season’s Eatings parcel 22.09.2013 from Paula of Half Baked arrived. We already tried the Moon Pies and today I served
Cheddar & Egg Grits with fried smoked pork cheek
My son was pleased, a vegetable free lunch to his taste. I also liked it. Thanks again Paula and Katie. Just a few minutes after uploading the picture to flickr my dear friend Kayte left a comment: OMW, you’re cooking southern American cuisine!. Seems I did it right.
I had to overcome some difficulties.
- I don’t do cups. So I converted the recipe with this cooking conversion 09.08.2023 **
- Only Irish cheddar cheese slices here, I replaced the coarsely grated cheddar with cheddar cubes

Directions
Preheat oven to 180 °C. In a 3-Litre- saucepan, bring water to a boil; add coarse salt. Stir in the quick-cooking grits; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally until thick and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in butter, cut into small pieces, and shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Slowly whisk eggs into grits mixture, being careful not to let them scramble. Season with salt and ground pepper. Add hot sauce to taste.
Pour mixture into a buttered 20-by-30-cm baking dish. Sprinkle with coarsely grated cheese.
Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Hi from Alabama,
you did a wonderful job with the grits! That looks like a traditional Southern meal, even the pork cheeks!! Hope you enjoyed the package:)

Looks delicious. Certainly on my brunch list!

That looks delicious! I haven’t had a proper ‘American’ breakfast in ages.
And the Moon Pies – I loved those as a child…..
