Steps:
- Spray a 10X15" jelly roll sheet pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan stir together grits, milk, broth, and salt. 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 and cheddar cheese. 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.

EASY FRIED GRITS CAKES
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Bring the water and salt to a boil in a large, heavy saucepan. Add the grits and continue to simmer, stirring constantly, over medium heat until the grits are cooked and thick, or about 15 to 20 minutes. If too thick, add a little more boiling water, 1 spoonful at a time.
- Pour the hot grits onto a large plate or medium baking sheet to make a layer about 3/4 inch deep. Cover and let stand to cool, then refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to chill thoroughly.
- When the grits are cold and firm, use biscuit cutters the size of your choice to cut rounds. Or cut them into rectangular pieces with a sharp knife. The rectangles ensure the total usage of the mixture.
- Dredge the grits pieces with flour, shaking off any excess flour. Reserve.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the grits cakes until golden brown on both sides, about 2 1/2 minutes per side.
- Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt to taste.
- Garnish with the chives, if using, and serve hot.
