Gulf Coast: Grits with Gouda

Serves: 6-8

Recipe courtesy of Emy Lesofski

In a saucepan, bring to a boil:

2 Cups chicken broth

2 Cups heavy cream

1 Tsp. salt

Reduce heat to medium-low and add:

1 Cup yellow corn grits

Simmer until thick (about 5 minutes), whisking continuously to avoid lumps. The grits are done when they have the consistency of cream of wheat.

Stir in:

1/4-1/2 Cup butter (to taste)

When the butter is melted, remove from heat and serve with fresh gouda cheese as a side.

NOTE: If the grits get too thick from cooling for too long, re-heat and stir in extra cream.
