Ingredients

  • cups water
  • ½ cup half and half
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup grits
  • ½ cup blue cheese crumbled, extra for garnish if desired
  • teaspoons liquid smoke
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring water and half and half to a boil {watch it carefully as dairy has a tendency to bubble over when boiled.} Add salt.
  • Slowly whisk in grits. Reduce heat to medium low and continue to whisk continuously until substantially thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add blue cheese, liquid smoke and butter and continue to whisk until smooth and thickened to desired consistency. {I like my grits on the thicker side, but if you prefer a runnier texture you can add more liquid to achieve that.}
  • Serve hot with crumbled blue cheese over top.
