Time 1h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups water
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup uncooked grits (such as Bob's Red Mill®)
2 eggs
½ cup panko bread crumbs
⅓ cup butter

Steps:

  • Bring water and salt to a boil in a pot over high heat. Add grits and reduce heat to low. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Pour grits into a greased loaf pan and let cool slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour to overnight.
  • Remove chilled grits from the pan and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place beaten eggs into a shallow dish and panko bread crumbs in another; dip each slice of grits into eggs, followed by bread crumbs.
  • Heat butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry breaded grits slices in the hot butter until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Season with salt.

I had some leftover grits so I decided to try this recipe. I'm so glad I did! These grits cakes were amazing. They were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I served them with a side of salsa and they were the perfect snack.

These were so easy to make and they turned out perfect! I'm not a big fan of grits, but I loved these. The panko breading made them crispy and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making these again.

I made these grits cakes for dinner last night and they were delicious! I used sharp cheddar cheese and they were nice and gooey. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

These panko-breaded fried grits cakes were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I served them with a side of bacon and eggs, and they were the perfect breakfast. I will definitely be making these again.
