Cheesy Grits With Scallions Recipes

Steps:

• Bring milk and 1 cup water to a boil over medium-high heat. Whisking constantly, gradually add grits and cook, turning down heat to maintain a low simmer if needed, until tender, 25-35 minutes. Whisk in cheese and butter to melt; season grits with salt and pepper.
• While grits are going, combine scallions, jalapeño, and oil in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, swirling pan occasionally, until scallions are lightly browned and crisp, 8-10 minutes. Using tongs, transfer scallions and jalapeño to a plate. Strain oil through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl.
• Divide grits among bowls. Top each with an egg and some scallions and jalapeño; drizzle with strained oil.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a deep casserole dish.
• Bring the chicken broth, milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and cayenne to a boil in a medium saucepan. Slowly whisk in the grits and lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the Cheddar and pepper-jack cheeses and butter until melted and smooth; cool slightly. Stir in the eggs and transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish. Smooth the top of the grits and then bake until just set and lightly brown, about 1 hour. Let rest for at least 5 minutes. Scatter with the scallions, if using, and cut into squares.

Steps:

• Bring water and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Whisk in grits, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until thickened, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Stir in Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and butter until fully combined and cheeses have melted. Season with pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the water, milk, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer over moderate heat until the onion and garlic are softened, about 3 minutes. Return to a boil and whisk in the grits. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the grits are tender, about 25 minutes.
• Add the cheese, scallions, and thyme and stir until the cheese has melted. Transfer to bowls and serve.

Steps:

• Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a heavy 4-quart saucepan. Add the salt, then slowly add the grits in a thin, steady stream, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits thicken, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the half-and-half and butter to the grits and stir. The mixture will seem thin but it will thicken as it cooks. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally for 45 minutes, until very smooth and creamy. Off the heat, stir in the Cheddar, scallions, and pepper. Season to taste and serve hot with a sprinkle of grated cheese and scallions.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add salt and pepper. Stir in grits; reduce heat and let simmer until water is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Cheddar cheese and butter.
• Rinse shrimp and pat dry.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Heat remaining bacon grease in the skillet over medium heat. Cook shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Add bacon, scallions, parsley, garlic, and lemon juice. Saute for 3 minutes.
• Spoon grits into a serving bowl. Add shrimp mixture and mix well. Serve immediately.
