Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped

  • 3 tablespoons chives, to garnish
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add butter to skillet and swirl to coat. Add onions, cover and cook for about 5 minutes.

  • Step 2: Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions reach a deep, golden brown color. This should take about 25 minutes, but will depend on how thinly the onion is sliced.

  • Step 3: Remove the caramelized onions and add water to skillet, scraping up any brown bits that may have formed.

  • Step 4: Bring water to rapid boil and whisk like crazy in grits, making sure to prevent any clumps from forming. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low.

  • Step 5: Cook until grits are thickened, approximately five minutes, adding more water if necessary. Note: For thicker consistency, I cook the grits for 7 minutes total. add salt and pepper Remove from heat and stir in the caramelized onions.

  • Step 6: Crumble in goat cheese and stir to combine. top with chives
