- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 pinch thyme
- 1 pinch garlic powder
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- For the grits
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup sliced onion
- 2 cups fresh stone ground grits
- 6 cups water
- 1/2 lb grated cheddar cheese or 1/2 lb monterey jack cheese
- 1/4 lb grated mozzarella cheese
- 4 slices American cheese, cut into pieces
- 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
- 1/4 lb shredded cheddar cheese
Method
- Prepare seasoning blend. In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, thyme, garlic powder and red pepper. Set aside.
- In a skillet, melt butter. Saute onions until softened. Set aside.
- Bring grits and water to a slow boil and cook until thickened and soft. Add onion, cheddar/Jack, mozzarella and American cheeses and stir until cheeses melt. Add reserved seasoning blend and Cajun seasoning. Pour into a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap and cool overnight in refrigerator.
- Remove from mold and slice into 3/4- to 1-inch thick slices. Heat a griddle over medium-high heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray or lightly grease with butter. Cook grits 2 to 3 minutes per side until heated through. Put about 1 1/2 tablespoons of cheddar cheese on the griddle and place the hot grits on top. Cook until the cheese forms a crust.
