Add 1 cup grits, stir, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring often. When grits are done, add the butter to the grits and stir or whisk until melted. Then add about 1/2 cup of hot grits to the beaten eggs and mix thoroughly, then immediately add the egg mixture to the pot of hot grits and stir/whisk together. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Pour this mixture into a greased 8 X 8 baking dish and cook in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until lightly browned on top. Refrigerate any leftovers. (This is a basic recipe. Other options might be to add 1 clove of chopped garlic, use 1/2 milk and 1/2 water, or 1/2 chicken broth and 1/2 water. You can use any cheese that melts well.) This recipe can be doubled and baked in a greased 9 X 13 baking dish.
