"At the Charleston Grill in Charleston, South Carolina, we were overwhelmed by how delicious the grits were," write Neil and Judy Kleinman of Pasadena, California. "This spectacular side dish was made with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, and was served in a small skillet."
Courses: Side dish| 2 1/4 cups | 533ml | Low-salt chicken broth |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Butter - (1/4 stick) |
| 1 | Garlic clove - chopped | |

| 3/4 cup | 177ml | Whipping cream |
| 1/2 cup | 118ml | Diced drained oil-packed |
| Sun-dried tomatoes - (2 1/2 oz) | ||
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Chopped fresh thyme |

| 1 cup | 146g / 5.1oz | Crumbled soft fresh goat cheese - - (abt 4 oz) |

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter 8- by 8- by 2-inch glass baking dish.
Bring broth, 2 tablespoons butter, and garlic to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in grits and return mixture to boil, whisking occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until grits are thick and almost all broth is absorbed, whisking frequently, about 8 minutes.
Whisk in 1/2 cup cream and simmer 5 minutes, whisking occasionally. Whisk in remaining 1/4 cup cream and simmer until very thick, stirring often, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in tomatoes and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Pour into prepared dish. Sprinkle goat cheese over. Bake until cheese softens, about 15 minutes. Garnish with chives, if desired, and serve immediately.
