Creamy Cheese Grits with Sharp Cheddar

55 min 4 servings Moyen
Grits are a quintessential Southern dish, perfect for breakfast or as a side dish at dinner. They are made from ground corn and have a creamy texture when cooked properly. Adding sharp cheddar cheese elevates this humble dish into something extraordinary, providing a rich and savoury flavour. Stone-ground grits are the preferred choice for this recipe, as they retain more of the corn's natural oils and flavours. This method of preparation allows you to enjoy the full-bodied taste and creamy texture that instant or quick-cooking grits simply can't match.

Creamy cheese grits are a versatile dish that pairs excellently with fried chicken, shrimp, or even just a simple sprinkle of green onions. For a complete Southern experience, serve them alongside collard greens or a fresh garden salad. To make ahead, prepare the grits as directed and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk to restore their creamy consistency.
