You may know and love cheese grits, but you haven't lived until you've tried them with asiago cheese. Asiago grits take it to a whole new level!

Equipment

1 sauce pan
1 whisk (or use a fork)
1 Box grater to shred the cheese

Ingredients

½ cup uncooked grits (not instant)
½ cup asiago cheese shredded
¾ cup 2% milk
¾ cup water
1 tablespoon butter
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon dried basil optional
½ teaspoon garlic powder optional
¼ teaspoon onion powder optional
additional salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Combine milk, water, and butter in a saucepan, and bring to a boil on your stove.
Slowly add grits while stirring with a whisk or fork to keep lumps from forming.
Continue to cook over low heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring continuously.
Remove from heat, and stir in cheese, butter, spices (if using), and salt and pepper to taste.
Optionally top with additional shredded cheese before serving.

Notes

This goes well as a side dish for meat and fish, especially when using the onion and garlic. If you make this for breakfast, you probably want to leave out the extra spices. To compensate, you may need extra salt, but taste first to make sure!
