Bring water and 3/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a 4-quart heavy pot.
Add grits in a slow stream, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat and gently simmer, stirring frequently to avoid sticking, until very thick, about 30 minutes. (Use a long-handled spoon to avoid bubbling and popping hot grits.).
Add butter, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, pepper, garlic, and cheese, stirring until butter and cheese are melted.
Lightly beat eggs and milk in a small bowl, then stir into grits until combined.
Pour into an ungreased 8-inch square baking dish (2 inches deep) and bake until set and lightly browned, about 1 hour.
