1
Boil Water
In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
2
Add Salt
Once the water is boiling, add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
3
Add Grits
Slowly whisk in 1 cup of grits, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
4
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Let the grits simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are thick and creamy.

Incorporate Cheese
Once the grits are cooked, remove them from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded white cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
6
Add Cream and Butter
Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 2 tablespoons of butter until fully incorporated and creamy.

7
Plate the Grits
Spoon the white cheddar grits into serving bowls.

Add Optional Toppings
If desired, sprinkle with chopped green onions and crumbled crispy bacon before serving.
