Creamy Dreamy White Cheddar Grits
Creamy Dreamy White Cheddar Grits! Cheese grits will turn just about anyone into a grits-lover. Just a handful of ingredients are all you need for this Flying Biscuit Cafe copycat recipe.
Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon white pepper
- 1 cup quick-cooking grits
- ½ cup grated white cheddar cheese or more, if desired!
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cubed
Instructions
- 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 10 minutes.
- Add cheese and stir gently until cheese melts. Whisk again to combine.
- Turn heat off and allow grits {and yourself} to rest 5 minutes. {All that whisking is sure tiring. But worth it. I promise.}
- Add butter and stir until completely smooth, silky and shiny.
