Ingredients
- 4 cups unsalted or low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup instant grits
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup freshly grated Cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup freshly grated Havarti cheese
- 2 teaspoons fresh chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the chicken broth and Kosher salt to a roaring boil over medium-high heat.
- Slowly whisk in the grits, then, reduce the heat until you have reached a simmer. Cook the grits for 6-8 minutes, until they are no longer hard or chewy, stirring often. If the grits have thickened too much before they've fully cooked through, stir in an additional ¼ cup of broth as needed throughout the cooking process.
- Add the cream, butter, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Then, remove from the heat, add in the cheese, and stir until smooth. Add the chives, stir once more, serve and enjoy!
