Grit Cake ( Recipe adapted from https://www.mamagourmand.com/grit-cakes/ )

Ingredients:

2 cups stone ground grits (see recipe notes for alternatives)
3 cups milk, at least 2%
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasonings
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2 cups freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese

Directions:

• Spray a 10 x 15 casserole pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

• In a medium saucepan stir together grits, milk, broth, and Old Bay seasoning. Bring to a boil, over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Cover, reduce heat to a gentle simmer, and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The grits will be very thick.

• Remove from heat and stir in 4 tablespoons butter. Evenly spread cheese grits in prepared sheet pan. TIP: Use an offset spatula to spread or press down with a piece of greased waxed paper.

• Let the grits sheet pan sit out until they have cooled to room temperature. Cover with foil and refrigerate until very firm, 2 hours to overnight.

• Preheat broiler and adjust oven rack to 6 inches from heat. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease foil with cooking spray. Set aside.

• Cut chilled grits into squares. Alternatively use biscuit cutters, in preferred size, to cut out circle shape. Use a spatula to transfer cut grit cakes to prepared baking sheet.

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter and brush on grit cake tops. Broil for 5-7 minutes, rotating pan halfway though, or until warm, golden, and crispy. Serve immediately.
