Materials

  • 2 cups cooked grits or however much you have!

Instructions

  • With leftover or chilled grits of your choice, get as smooth as possible in a freezer-safe dish (I am using Pyrex), then put in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
  • In a pan over medium-heat, add butter and avocado oil until bubbling
  • Slice grits to size of choice and add to hot pan. Once browned, flip and repeat (About 2 minutes each side).
  • Serve with toppings or main course of choice!
