Ingredients
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Quick-cooking grits
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups White cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water, heavy cream, milk, and salt over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Once the liquid comes to a boil, gradually whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
Step 3
Continue to cook the grits for about 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure they do not stick to the bottom of the pan. The mixture should thicken as the grits absorb the liquid.
Step 4
Once the grits have thickened and are tender, stir in the butter until it has fully melted and is incorporated into the mixture.
Step 5
Add the shredded white cheddar cheese to the grits and stir until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Season the grits with ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting the salt and pepper if necessary.
Step 7
Serve the creamy dreamy white cheddar grits hot, garnished with additional cheese or a sprinkle of chopped parsley, if desired.
