Cooking Grits

Stir in the milk, butter, and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy. Set aside and keep warm.

Making Mornay Sauce

In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until bubbly.

4. Add Milk and Cheese

Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
