Ingredients
- 9 ounces fully cooked smoked chicken sausage with apples and Chardonnay
- 6 ounces shiitake mushrooms
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine, divided
- 3 cups water
- 3/4 cup uncooked quick-cooking grits
- 1 (8-ounce) loaf pasteurized prepared cheese product, cubed
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
- Sliced ripe olives (optional)
Method
- Cut sausage into 1/2-inch-thick slices; cut slices into quarters. Cut stems from mushrooms and, if desired, reserve for another use; cut mushroom caps into slices.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add sausage, and saute 7 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove sausage from skillet. Add mushroom caps to skillet, and saute 5 minutes or until tender.
- Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a Dutch oven. Gradually stir in grits; return to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until thickened. Add remaining 7 tablespoons butter and cheese; cook, stirring often, 5 minutes or until melted and blended. Remove from heat; stir in eggs, rosemary, and seasoned salt until blended. Stir in sausage and mushrooms; pour mixture into a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish.
- Bake at 350° for 45 to 50 minutes or just until set. Sprinkle top with olives, if desired.
