Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup milk
1 cup water
1 tsp salt
1 cup uncooked quick-cooking grits
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
4 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups (6 oz.) shredded monterey jack cheese
8 large egg whites
1/4 tsp cream of tartar

Directions:

Combine first 3 ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; stir in grits. Reduce heat, and simmer 3 minutes or until thickened, stirring often. Remove from heat; add butter and pepper, stirring until butter melts. Stir in egg yolks, 1 at a time, and cheese.
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar at high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold one-third of beaten egg whites into grits; carefully fold in remaining egg whites. Pour into a lightly greased 13 x 9 baking dish. Bake at 425° for 20 minutes or until puffed and browned. Serve immediately.
