Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Quick-cooking grits
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups White cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water, heavy cream, milk, and salt over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the liquid comes to a boil, gradually whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
Continue to cook the grits for about 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure they do not stick to the bottom of the pan. The mixture should thicken as the grits absorb the liquid.
Once the grits have thickened and are tender, stir in the butter until it has fully melted and is incorporated into the mixture.
Add the shredded white cheddar cheese to the grits and stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Season the grits with ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting the salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve the creamy dreamy white cheddar grits hot, garnished with additional cheese or a sprinkle of chopped parsley, if desired.
