Instructions
- Bring the water and milk to a boil in a large saucepan. Whisk in the grits, cover, and reduce heat to low. Stir often and cook until thick and creamy, 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat broiler. Remove saucepan from heat and whisk in the cheese, garlic, and butter, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide the grits into four large ramekins that have been sprayed with oil or cooking spray. (If you don't have large ramekins or mini cocottes, about 6 small ramekins will work.) Top each ramekin with a slice of tomato, lightly spray the tomato with oil, then sprinkle a little additional salt and pepper on top.
- Place ramekins on a baking sheet and broil for 5–10 minutes, or until the tomato is softened and starting to blister.
