1
Cook the Grits
In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 cup of coarse corn grits and 1 tsp of salt. Stir well to combine.
2
Simmer
Reduce heat to low and simmer the grits, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes, or until the grits are creamy and tender. If the mixture becomes too thick, you can add a bit more water.

3
Add Cheese and Butter
Once the grits are cooked, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in 2 tbsp of unsalted butter and 1 cup of shredded smoked Gouda cheese until melted and well combined.
4
Incorporate Cream and Season
Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and add 1 tsp of black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

5
Garnish and Serve
For an extra touch, sprinkle additional shredded Gouda cheese on top and garnish with 2 tbsp of chopped chives if desired. Serve hot.
