Get the recipe for creamy dreamy grits from the Flying Biscuit Café. This grits dish is made with white cheddar cheese, butter, and half and half.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 cup stone-ground grits
  • 1/2 cup white cheddar cheese (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (cubed)

Directions

Step 1
In a saucepan, combine water, half-and-half, salt and white pepper and bring to a boil. Slowly pour grits into boiling water while whisking the entire time. (Watch out for splattering; mixture is very hot.) Reduce to low heat and continue to whisk often, until thick and completely smooth, about 20 minutes, adding water if necessary.
Step 2
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, silky and shiny.
