Gruyere Grits




It's a cool, comfort food craving breakfast Saturday here in North Alabama.  I have been very lax in grocery shopping this week.  Which means I haven't been to the grocery store this week.  No eggs, no bread, no breakfast meat.  Hmmm.  I searched through the pantry and uncovered some quick grits.  And then I remembered there's some Gruyere cheese in the refrigerator.  10 minutes later, breakfast is served.

2 2/3 cup water
1/4 t. sea salt
2 T. butter
2/3 cup quick cooking grits
2/3 cup finely grated Gruyere cheese, plus more for garnishing

Bring water, salt and butter to a boil in a medium saucepan.  Add grits and stir well.  Cover and lower heat and let cook for 5 minutes.  Remove from heat and add cheese.  Stir to mix in the cheese.

Divide into serving bowls and add a little extra butter, some pepper if you'd like, and a little extra cheese on top.

Makes 2 servings.
