- 1 1/4 cups half and half
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese , grated
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup scallions , chopped, for garnish
- sharp cheddar cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large, heavy bottom saucepan.
- Add the Kosher salt and then slowly add the quick cooking grits, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits thicken, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.

- Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Take the saucepan off the heat and fold in the cheddar cheese.
- Garnish with additional grated cheddar cheese and scallions.
