CHEESY CORN GRITS W/ COUNTRY HAM RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Cook desired amount of grits in salted water as directed on package. (I used 1 c. quick-cooking white grits and 1 tsp salt in 3 1/2 cups boiling water) Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet; add ham pieces and saute until browned. Set aside. When grits are done, whisk in the milk and corn, cover and cook for another minute or two. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, black pepper, and cheese until melted. Taste and adjust seasonings to taste. Fold in ham pieces. Serve immediately with hot biscuits, scrambled eggs (or however you like them), and hot coffee. Keep grits covered to stay warm. (Stir in a little water to thin for desired creaminess). Thin any leftovers with a little water and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave.

BAKED GRITS WITH HAM, WILD MUSHROOMS AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Bring 43/4 cups water and salt to boil in heavy medium pot. Add corn grits to boiling water in thin steady stream, stirring constantly. Reduce temperature and simmer grits until thick, stirring frequently, about 20 minutes. Pour cooked grits into large mixing bowl. Whisk in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, grated cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons butter. Season grits to taste with pepper. Whisk in egg. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Place dish in large roasting pan. Fill roasting pan with enough hot water to come halfway up sides of baking dish. Bake until grits are firm to touch, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add assorted mushrooms, ham and minced shallot and sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 4 minutes. Add white wine and cook until almost all liquid is absorbed, about 3 minutes. Add whipping cream and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in fresh thyme. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spoon baked corn grits onto plates. Top with mushroom and ham mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

PARMESAN CORN GRITS W/ COUNTRY HAM RECIPE - (4.3/5)

In the meantime, heat a skillet over medium heat; add about 1/2 teaspoon oil and smear around with the back of a spoon, then add ham pieces and cook until lightly browned, stirring frequently.

Remove from heat and stir in the butter, Parmesan, ham pieces, pepper and additional salt, to taste, stirring until the butter and Parmesan melts. (If needed for creaminess, thin grits with a little additional milk). Serve immediately, or cover and keep warm until serving time. Serve with eggs and toast or homemade biscuits and fresh brewed coffee.
