Ingredients
Grits
Cheesy & Truffle Finish
Grits
1. Boil liquid
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups water and 1 cup whole milk to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp kosher salt.
2. Add grits
Slowly whisk in 1 cup stone-ground grits to the simmering liquid to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low so the mixture maintains a gentle simmer.
3. Simmer and stir
Cook the grits, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, for 20–30 minutes until tender and creamy. If grits thicken too much, add up to 1/2 cup extra hot water or milk, a few tablespoons at a time, to reach desired consistency.
4. Finish with butter
When grits are tender, stir in 2 tbs unsalted butter until melted and incorporated. Remove saucepan from heat but keep warm on residual heat while you prepare cheese additions.
Cheesy & Truffle Finish
5. Temper and stir in cheeses
Add 1 cup finely grated sharp white cheddar, 1 tbs grated Parmesan and 2 oz softened cream cheese to the hot grits. Stir continuously until cheeses melt and the mixture is smooth and glossy. If the grits seize or look too thick, stir in 1–2 tbs warm milk.
6. Season and truffle oil
Stir in 1 tsp black truffle oil and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust salt if needed (the cheeses and Parmesan add saltiness).
