A delightful twist on a classic Southern dish, combining creamy grits with cheddar cheese and sweet corn for a comforting and flavorful casserole.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your casserole.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water and vegetable bouillon to a boil.
Stir the bouillon well to dissolve it completely for a flavorful base.
Gradually stir in the grits, reduce the heat, and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir constantly to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the grits cool slightly.
Cooling prevents the eggs from cooking prematurely when mixed.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Stir the egg mixture into the grits, followed by the corn, green onions, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish.
Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly in the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the center is set.
Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top and let it melt for 2 minutes before serving.
For a golden crust, broil for an additional minute after adding the cheese.
Serve warm and enjoy your savory cheddar corn grits bake.
Garnish with additional green onions for a fresh touch.
