Grits With Parmesan and Prosciutto image

To avoid midmorning hunger, I eat smart but well at breakfast. Like grits. Often cooks will enliven this hot cereal with lots of cheddar cheese and bacon as a side dish. I substitute leaner Parmesan and prosciutto to get big taste for fewer calories.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups water in a microwave-safe measuring cup
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, minced
¾ cup quick grits
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, preferably Reggiano
1 teaspoon butter
Black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Microwave water until very hot, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto; saute until moisture evaporates and bits start to fry and crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove prosciutto; set aside.
  • Add the hot water to the empty pan and bring to a boil. Whisk in grits and salt. Simmer, uncovered, over medium-low heat until thick, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in prosciutto, cheese, butter and pepper to taste. Let stand to cool and allow flavors to blend, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover grits. I also like to add a bit of chopped fresh basil for extra flavor.

This recipe is so easy to follow and the results are always perfect. I love that I can customize it to my own taste by adding different ingredients. My favorite way to make it is with bacon, cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeños.
