Deep South Eats: Creamy Dreamy Grits

One of my favorite places to eat breakfast in my city is The Flying Biscuit. I have never been a huge fan of grits, but their Creamy Dreamy Grits are to die for. They are so fluffy and creamy that I could eat them alone for breakfast. I hope you will include them on your menu if you have any family breakfasts coming up this holiday season.


Ingredients:

• 6 cups water
• 2 cups half-and-half
• 3 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 2 cups quick cooking grits
• 1 cup grated white cheddar cheese
• 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

Directions:

• In a saucepan, combine water, half-and-half, salt and white pepper. Bring to a boil.
• Slowly pour grits into boiling mixture while whisking continuously (the mixture is very hot and may splatter).
• Reduce heat to low and continue to whisk often, until thick and completely smooth, about 10 minutes.
• Add cheese and stir gently until cheese melts. Whisk again to combine.
• Turn heat off and allow grits to rest 5 minutes.
• Add butter and stir until completely smooth and shiny.
