Sausage & Grits Quiche

A whole breakfast in one pan! Who doesn't love that? This hearty breakfast casserole has it all - meat, cheese, grits, eggs, and flavor. You can do so much with this dish: try different meat options, cheese flavors, herbs, seasonings. This is a great basic recipe for whatever mood you're in. I have a large family, so I double this recipe and bake it in a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Works for us!

To prepare the grits, bring water and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the grist and remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for five minutes. This mixture will be thick, unlike the grits you usually have for breakfast.  

In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs well.

Add remaining ingredients to the eggs and mix well. Pour into a baking dish and top with extra cheese if desired.

Bake in a 350° oven for
30-35 minutes.
