Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup quick-cooking grits
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the water, whole milk, and salt to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Slowly whisk in the quick-cooking grits, making sure to avoid lumps. Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir until the mixture begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Cover the saucepan and let the grits simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the unsalted butter and heavy cream until fully incorporated and silky.
Adjust the seasoning with freshly cracked black pepper and additional salt, if needed.
For extra decadence, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
Spoon the grits into serving bowls and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the soft, sexy texture of these grits!
