Low Fat Cheese Grits Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup skim or low-fat milk

1 pinch salt

1/3 cup quick grits

1/4 cup grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese

Method

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, salt and 1 cup water; heat until almost boiling.

Reduce the heat to low, whisk in grits and cook, whisking constantly, until they start to thicken, 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons of the cheese.

Cover and let stand until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the grits are creamy, 2 to 3 minutes.

Divide between 2 bowls, sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cheese and serve.

Makes about 2 cups, for 2 servings.
