"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
In a large heavy saucepan, bring water and milk to a boil over medium heat. Gradually stir in the grits and cook, stirring frequently, for about 7 minutes, or until thick and creamy. Stir in salt, pepper, butter and 1 1/2 cups of cheese.

Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl. Whisk some of the hot grits into the eggs to temper them. Return this mixture to the saucepan and stir until blended.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the grits are heated through.
