White Grits And Cheddar Pudding Recipes

WHITE-CHEDDAR GRITS

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a medium pot. Whisking constantly, slowly add grits to water and cook until mixture starts to thicken, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until grits are smooth, thick, and fall easily from the spoon, about 25 minutes.
• Add cheese, salt, and cayenne, and stir just until cheese melts. Serve immediately, or cover and keep grits warm over low heat, stirring occasionally, for up to 1 hour (you may need to adjust the consistency with additional water just before serving).

WHITE GRITS AND CHEDDAR PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large, heavy-duty, oven-proof pot or Dutch oven, scald the milk over high heat.Slowly sprinkle the grits into the simmering milk, stirring constantly so they don't clump. Season with salt. Cover the pot and place in the oven for 40 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot every 10 minutes.
• In a small saute pan set over medium heat, cook the bacon until brown and crispy. Drizzle in the olive oil, if necessary. Remove the bacon to a plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
• Place the chunks of day-old bread in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until coarse crumbs are formed. Add the bread crumbs to the saute pan with the bacon fat, and toast over medium high heat, until light brown and toasty. Add the bacon to the bread crumbs and stir to combine. Remove from the heat, set aside.
• Continue to check and stir the grits every 10 minutes.
• After 40 minutes, remove the grits from the oven and check the doneness. Turn the oven to broil. Fold the butter into the grits. Add the cheese and stir to melt. Pour the grits into a wide, shallow, ovenproof dish and scatter the bread crumbs across the top. Run the grits under the broiler until bubbly and lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
• Remove the grits from the oven and serve immediately.
