    Using a skillet, saute the onions in the remaining 1 Tbsp butter for 1 minute. Add the garlic cheese, 1/2 C cheddar & onions to grits, & stir until the cheese is melted. Add tomatoes & mix well. Stir in the beaten eggs. Pour the grits into a greased 8 x 11 x 2" casserole & bake for 40 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the casserole for the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Enjoy!
