   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked grits, butter, cheese, and eggs. Stir the mixture over low heat until the cheese and butter are completely melted and well incorporated into the grits.

3. Add Milk:

   • Gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously. This will help achieve a smooth and creamy texture.

4. Assemble the Casserole:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Pyrex or oven-safe casserole dish generously.
   • Transfer the prepared grits mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

5. Top with Corn Flakes:

   • Sprinkle the corn flakes evenly over the top of the grits mixture. This will add a crunchy texture to the casserole when baked.

6. Bake:

   • Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown and crispy.

7. Serve:

   • Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
   • Slice into portions and serve warm as a delicious breakfast or brunch option.

Tips:

• For added flavor, you can incorporate minced garlic or garlic powder into the grits mixture.
• Experiment with different types of cheese to find your favorite combination.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add some diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the grits mixture.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
