Cook grits in milk according to package directions. Place the hot grits in a mixing bowl and stir in the cheese, butter, mace, salt and cayenne pepper. Cool slightly.

In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks. Stir a little of the grits mixture into the yolks to heat them slightly, then add to the grits mixture and combine thoroughly. Let cool to room temperature.
