About Cheese grits
Cheese grits are a beloved dish rooted in Southern American cuisine, made by cooking coarsely ground corn into a creamy porridge and enriching it with melted cheese. Typically prepared with ingredients like milk, butter, and sharp cheddar, cheese grits strike a balance between comfort food and simple, hearty fare. They are rich in flavor and provide a good source of carbohydrates for energy. However, depending on the recipe, they can be high in saturated fats and sodium from the added cheese and butter. For a lighter option, substitutions like reduced-fat cheese or plant-based milk can be used. While traditionally served as a savory breakfast side dish, cheese grits pair well with proteins like shrimp or eggs, making them versatile for any meal. Their warm, stick-to-your-ribs quality has made them a staple of Southern tables for generations.
