Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup milk
1/2 cup white or yellow grits (not instant)
3 ounces sharp cheddar, grated (about 3/4 cup)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 bunch scallions, very thinly sliced on a diagonal
1 jalapeño, very thinly sliced
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 Jammy Soft-Boiled Eggs, halved

Steps:

  • Bring milk and 1 cup water to a boil over medium-high heat. Whisking constantly, gradually add grits and cook, turning down heat to maintain a low simmer if needed, until tender, 25-35 minutes. Whisk in cheese and butter to melt; season grits with salt and pepper.
  • While grits are going, combine scallions, jalapeño, and oil in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, swirling pan occasionally, until scallions are lightly browned and crisp, 8-10 minutes. Using tongs, transfer scallions and jalapeño to a plate. Strain oil through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl.
  • Divide grits among bowls. Top each with an egg and some scallions and jalapeño; drizzle with strained oil.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my grits turned out lumpy. However, the flavor was still good.
