- 2 cup water
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup quick grits
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese room temperature
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese room temperature
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add water, half and half and salt to a pot and bring to a boil.
- As soon as it starts to boil, slowly add the grits while constantly whisking.
- Turn the heat down to low, cover and cook for 5-7 minutes. Stir several times, to prevent the grits from sticking to the bottom of the pot, until it has thickened but has some moisture left.
- Turn off the heat. Stir in the cheddar, Parmesan, butter and pepper until everything is melted and smooth.
- Adjust the salt if needed.
- It will continue to thicken as it cools. Serve warm.
Notes
-It is delicious to take a scoop of the leftovers, flatten into a patty, place in a frying pan and cook for a few minutes on each side to crisp and serve with an egg.
