Grits Souffle

Boil the water, add the grits and salt, and cook per the package directions. Stir in the butter and let cool slightly (grits that are too hot will scramble the eggs).

In a bowl, beat the egg yolks, add the milk, and beat well. Add the grits and grated cheese and beat well.

Sprinkle a dash of salt on the egg whites and beat until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until stiff.

Fold the egg whites into the grits mixture.

Pour into a well-buttered and 'cheesed' soufflé dish and bake at 350°F for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Serve immediately.
