For extra creamy grits, use milk or half-and-half instead of water. Experiment with different cheeses such as Gruyere, Parmesan, or pepper jack to customize the flavor. Add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for an extra layer of savory flavor. Serve immediately and Garnish with chopped chives, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a fried egg for a heartier meal.
