BAKED CHEESE GRITS



Baked Cheese Grits image

The grits mixture will almost fill the entire baking dish and will puff up when baking, but don't worry - it won't overflow. Also, switching sides, these grits can take the place of mashed potatoes anytime.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Freshly grated cheese, milk, and cream will give your baked cheese grits a richer flavor.
  • Don't overcook the grits: Overcooked grits will be mushy and unpleasant to eat. Cook them until they are just tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Season the grits well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for baked cheese grits. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or cumin, to taste.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your baked cheese grits. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyère.
  • Don't crowd the pan: When you pour the grits mixture into the baking dish, make sure to spread it out evenly. If the mixture is too thick, it will not cook evenly.
  • Bake the grits until they are golden brown: The baked cheese grits are done when they are golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
  • Let the grits rest before serving: Once the baked cheese grits are done, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

Baked cheese grits are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them cheesy, spicy, or simply classic, baked cheese grits are sure to please everyone at the table.
