Preheat oven to 350u00b0F.

In a large saucepan, bring chicken stock to a boil. Slowly add grits and stir well to break up any clumps. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir a small amount of the grits into the egg, then pour the egg into the saucepan. Mix well.

Add processed cheese, milk, and butter; stir until the cheese melts. Stir in the ham, scallions, and seasonings; mix well. Pour mixture into a greased 7x11 casserole dish. Top with cheddar cheese.

Bake uncovered for 35-50 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese melts. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
