Prepare vegetables and cheese
Cutting Board
Chef’s knife

Slice the mushrooms, thinly slice the scallions, mince the garlic, and grate the cheddar if needed; keep the scallion whites and scallion greens in separate small piles.

Use a stable cutting board and keep fingers clear of the knife while slicing mushrooms and scallions.

1 pound mushrooms
4 Count scallions
2 Count garlic
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
2
Start the grits liquid
Measuring Cups
Measuring Spoons
Medium saucepan

In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth, whole milk, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons butter to a gentle boil over medium heat.

3 cups vegetable broth
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
2 tablespoons butter
3
Cook the grits
Whisk
Wooden spoon
Medium saucepan

Slowly whisk in the stone-ground grits, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring often, until thick and creamy, about 25 to 30 minutes. While the grits simmer, prepare the mushrooms in the next steps.

Keep the grits at a low simmer and stir often to prevent splattering.

1 cup grits
4
Brown the mushrooms
Large skillet
Wooden spoon

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the cremini mushrooms and cook until browned and tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Use caution around the hot skillet and melted butter to avoid burns.

2 tablespoons butter
1 pound mushrooms
5
Add aromatics and seasoning
Measuring Spoons
Large skillet
Wooden spoon

Add the scallion whites, garlic, thyme, remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4 Count scallions
2 Count garlic
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
6
Finish the mushroom topping
Large skillet
Wooden spoon

Stir in the soy sauce and cook until the mushrooms look glossy and savory, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat.

The skillet handle can become hot, so use a towel or oven mitt when moving it.

1 tablespoon soy sauce
7
Finish the cheddar grits
Wooden spoon
Medium saucepan

When the grits are thick and creamy, stir in the sharp cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
8
Serve

Spoon the cheddar grits into bowls, top with the mushroom mixture, and finish with the scallion greens.

4 Count scallions
