Looking for a cozy side dish that wraps you in a warm, cheesy hug? This Cheese Grits recipe is layered with creamy, buttery goodness and has a golden, bubbly top once baked. Whether you’re hosting brunch, need a side dish for family dinner or holiday potluck, this recipe hits the spot every time.
Why I Love This Recipe
A Family Tradition: When I was a kid, Christmas just wouldn’t have been Christmas without Cheese Grits on the table (and the Pineapple Brown Sugar Glazed Ham). Everyone in my family had their own take on the recipe, but my Aunt’s creamy, cheesy version was always the favorite. This recipe is my attempt to recreate her magic.
Ultra Creamy Texture: This isn’t just any Cheese Grits recipe. The addition of Boursin garlic cheese takes the flavor to the next level, while the eggs and milk create a luscious, creamy consistency.
Easy to Make: No fancy equipment or complicated steps here—just simple ingredients and a casserole dish.
Crowd-Pleaser: This dish is always the star of the table, whether at a family gathering or a potluck. It pairs beautifully with mains like a simple Cheese Omelette for breakfast or Pan Seared Beef Tenderloin for dinner!
