directions

1. Bring water to boil. Add grits and simmer for five minutes. Set aside.
2. Melt butter in large skillet. Add peppers and onion. Saute until tender, about five minutes.
3. Add to grits along with cheeses. Stir to combine. Temper eggs if grits are still hot. Otherwise, add eggs and stir well.

I love grits and am always searching for a new way to prepare. I did cut back on the peppers (personal preference) and the butter by half and these were very, very good. Thanks for sharing a very nice recipe - this will be a great dish for going tailgating!
