Sweet Grits Souffle
(4 servings) Printable Version
- 1/4 cup quick-cooking grits
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup milk (buttermilk works great)
- 1 and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
How To Make Mini Sweet Grits Souffles
In a small sauce pan, bring 3/4 cup water to a boil. Slowly stir in the grits. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and add butter. Stir slowly until butter is melted and well-combined. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly butter the inside of six small (6 ounce) ramekins or four 6 x 3-1/2-inch mini loaf pans.*
In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the sugar, flour, milk, vanilla and nutmeg. Beat until well-combined.
Stir the egg mixture into the cooled grits. Transfer to greased ramekins or mini-loaf pans.
Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes until the tops are lightly browned and the souffles are puffed up.
Let cool for 10 minutes. Serve warm.
Cooking Notes:
You can also use a muffin tin and make 4 to 6 mini-souffles depending on how full you fill the cups.
If you'd like this souffle to act as a pie filling, simply pour the combined mixture into a 9-inch store-bought pie crust and bake about 35 minutes until golden brown and set.
A new way to enjoy an old Southern favorite. Makes 4 to 6 servings depending on the baking dishes you use.

Very nice dessert. Sweet and soft with slight texture from grits. Tastes great cold also. I was tempted to eat more.

It's super sweet and maybe more appropriate for dessert than for breakfast, but it was very, very good topped with raspberry jam.
