Ingredients
Method
Cook your chosen protein (bacon, sausage, ham, seafood, or poultry) until done and set aside. If using vegetable toppings, prepare and cook them separately.
Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Whisk in grits slowly to avoid lumps, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, for 20–25 minutes until grits are creamy and tender. Add more broth if they become too thick.
Remove from heat and stir in butter, shredded cheese, and heavy cream until melted and fully incorporated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Fold in your cooked protein and any cooked vegetable toppings, then top with raw green onion, fresh herbs, and additional cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
