Ingredients
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup grits or coarse cornmeal
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce, plus more, for serving
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Fried egg, for serving
- Drizzle olive oil, for serving

Preparation
Step 1
Place water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. Add cornmeal about ¼ cup at a time, stirring until fully incorporated before adding the next ¼ cup, over about 20 to 30 minutes total, whisking regularly. Continue cooking until mixture is thick and smooth, about 30 to 45 minutes total.
Add cheese, Sriracha, butter, chili powder, and salt to mixture; whisk until smooth. Transfer grits to a serving bowl.
To serve, add a drizzle of olive oil and squirt of Sriracha into plated grits. Swirl gently with a knife to lightly incorporate. Top off with a very gently fried egg and dust with ground chipotle pepper and rosemary. Serve immediately.
