Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the baking dish
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 cups milk
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/4 cups grits (not instant)
3/4 cup grated sharp Cheddar
3/4 cup grated pepper-jack cheese
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 scallion, thinly sliced, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a deep casserole dish.
  • Bring the chicken broth, milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and cayenne to a boil in a medium saucepan. Slowly whisk in the grits and lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the Cheddar and pepper-jack cheeses and butter until melted and smooth; cool slightly. Stir in the eggs and transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Smooth the top of the grits and then bake until just set and lightly brown, about 1 hour. Let rest for at least 5 minutes. Scatter with the scallions, if using, and cut into squares.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup fine quick-cooking grits (not instant)
1 1/4 cups half-and-half
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups grated aged sharp Cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
1/2 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts (4 scallions)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Grated Cheddar and chopped scallions, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a heavy 4-quart saucepan. Add the salt, then slowly add the grits in a thin, steady stream, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits thicken, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add the half-and-half and butter to the grits and stir. The mixture will seem thin but it will thicken as it cooks. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally for 45 minutes, until very smooth and creamy. Off the heat, stir in the Cheddar, scallions, and pepper. Season to taste and serve hot with a sprinkle of grated cheese and scallions.
