Recipe: Southern Scramble (using grits, Swiss cheese and ham)

SOUTHERN SCRAMBLE

1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup Quaker or Aunt Jemima Enriched Hominy Quick Grits, uncooked*
1 tablespoon margarine or butter
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded Swiss cheese, divided use
6 eggs, beaten
1 cup cubed ham
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/8 teaspoon pepper

In large skillet, bring water to a boil. Slowly stir in grits; reduce heat. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently. Stir in margarine.

Combine 1/2 cup cheese with remaining ingredients; mix well. Pour into grits; stir lightly. Cook over medium heat until eggs are soft set and cheese is melted, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

*NOTE: To substitute regular Quaker or Aunt Jemima Enriched Hominy Grits, increase milk to 1-3/4 cups and simmer time to 12 to 14 minutes.

TIP: Once grits and egg mixture are combined, do not over mix or eggs will become dry and appear curdled.
