Cheesy grits




So good with biscuits and eggs of various sorts. Got this from the vegetarian's bible...How to Cook Everything Vegetarian book (by Mark Bittman):

Heat two cups water and a half cup of milk until it's about to boil, then slowly add 1c. of corn meal while whisking. Heat on low and simmer and whisk frequently until thick, about 10 minutes.

Add 1T butter, salt/pepper to taste, and a small hunk of cheddar (maybe 3 slices worth), mix until all is melted. Pour the mixture into a buttered 8x8 baking dish. Top with about a cup of shredded cheese (we used a mix of parmisan and asiago) and throw it under the broiler until the cheese melts and browns slightly. Serve in squares with breakfast!

The recipe actually calls for polenta, but really you can use any of those corn-based grains and it is soooo delicious!
