Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the grits, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Add Dairy

    Once the grits are cooked and have absorbed most of the water, stir in the milk, butter, and salt. Continue to cook on low heat for an additional 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Asiago

    Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the shredded Asiago cheese until melted and creamy. Add black pepper and garlic powder to taste.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon the creamy Asiago cheese grits into bowls and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
