Baked Eggs and Grits

By Nitaj3

Ingredients

• Olive oil, for brushing
• 3/4 cup instant grits
• 1 cup baby arugula or spinach
• 1/4 cup grated cheddar (2 ounces), divided
• Salt and pepper
• 4 large eggs

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush four 8-ounce ramekins or other small ovenproof dishes with oil. Prepare grits according to package instructions. Stir in arugula and 2 tablespoons cheddar, and cook until cheddar melts, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.



Divide grits among dishes. Make a well in each, then crack an egg into each well; season. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet, until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 20 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. To serve, top grits with remaining 2 tablespoons cheddar and a sprinkle of pepper.
