Never had them baked but have had them fried...and they are delicious. Don't see why you couldn't put eggs, a little milk or cream or cheese, and some crumbled bacon or diced ham and perhaps a few fine chopped onions and green peppers. Add some margarine, salt, and pepper if you like. Serve with some warm, homemade salsa and chow down.

Sorry, can't help you on this one, I'm not a fan of baked grits.

I make baked grits sometimes for breakfast. However, I am wondering if you can mix scrambled eggs and grits and bake them or will it be to dry. Has anyone else tried this. Would also love to hear how you bake your grits.
