Ingredients
- 1 cup quick-cooking grits
- 4 1/2 cups boiling water
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Would this freeze well?
Absolutely delicious! Substituted panko for corn flakes because we didn’t want something sweet on there.
saw this segment with Bart and Nadia so sweet what a beautiful couple !
This is much like an oven polenta I make. But I made this version only bc I wanted to use up my last amount of grits (not sure if they were quick cooking) and heavy cream. It turned out creamy. I had plain cream cheese only, so I added my own minced garlic. I limit my carb intake, so instead of the corn flake topping, I added shredded cheese on top the last five minutes of cook time. My only suggestion is to add more salt and some pepper to the mix, it was a bit bland. Likewise, I agree this is a nice shortcut to Shrimp and grits.
My husband is from Mississippi so we have grits all the time. I made the grits according to the container, not the recipe so I used 4 cups liquid not 4.5. I figured the cheese x 2 was a typo and only used 10 oz of Boursin. It turned out GREAT! I will try what some of the other reviewers said and used another cheese with garlic. This is a great recipe as is and I will enjoy every single bite!!
The recipe calls for using the Boursin cheese 2x…. is that a typo ???
I’d love to be able to watch the video because I enjoy watching Trisha cook but there are so many stupid video ads that the video won’t play at all! Very frustrating but I’ll still try this recipe!!
These grits were something else. So smooth and flavorful. Especially because of the garlic herbed cheese. That stuff is magic in here. Adding a little goat cheese would be extra delicious. I liked the texture of this with the corn flake topping. I cut the recipe in half and it makes a nice side dish.
Wow! Like I died & went to heaven.
Great recipe! Made this for Christmas Eve, everyone raved about it.
