1
Prepare the Roasted Garlic
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes until soft and caramelized.
2
Cook the Grits
In a large pot, bring water and milk to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits and reduce heat to low. Stir frequently and cook for about 20-25 minutes until thick and creamy.
3
Incorporate Ingredients
Once the grits are cooked, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the pot. Add the butter, white cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until creamy and well combined.
4
Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish or main dish.
