3. Cover the saucepan and let the grits simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, until they're thickened and tender.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and cheese until they're melted and well combined.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Gradually whisk this mixture into the grits.
