The power of grits lies within its mild simplicity. You can add any ingredient your palate desires and turn what was once a simple breakfast side into a vehicle for complex flavors. If you're a purist, you can also enjoy the mellow flavor of the cooked ground corn as is. Either way, there's nothing wrong with adding a little cream cheese to increase the velvety texture and rich flavor of your grits.
Miriam Hahn loves her recipe for Classic Creamy Grits because of its versatility. She says that aside from being chock full of iron and fiber, grits taste great with a savory flare or a touch of sweetness and make a great base for any protein. And, she explains, adding cream cheese to this classic dish intensifies the grits' creamy texture without making them taste heavy.
Although grits are known to be a simple dish, they are also notorious for being tricky when attempting to achieve a lump-free meal and Bon Appétit suggests cooking them slowly over low heat to achieve the perfect texture. For cooks who enjoy visual aids, this Tasting Table YouTube video provides a step-by-step guide to achieving smooth and creamy grits made richer with cream cheese.
