Emeril Lagasse Cookbook
Emeril Lagasse Cookbook
Cheesy Grits
Ingredients
4 cups water
1½ teaspoons salt
1½ cups quick cooking or old-fashioned grits (not instant)
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
8 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1½ cups shredded white Cheddar
Directions
  1. In a 2-quart Emerilware saucepan bring the water to a boil.
  2. Add a generous teaspoon of salt and the grits and stir with a wooden spoon to combine.
  3. When the grits thicken, add the milk, cream and butter and return to a boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the saucepan and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the grits are tender, smooth and creamy.
  5. Taste and season the grits with the remaining salt and pepper. (If the grits seem too runny simply allow to cook a bit longer, uncovered and stirring frequently, until the desired consistency is reached.)
  6. Fold the cheese into the grits, and keep covered and warm until ready to use.
Yield: 6 servings
