  7. Fold in the grated cheddar and Parmesan cheeses until evenly distributed.
  8. Pour the grits mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Note

For best results, use freshly grated cheeses rather than pre-shredded, which often contains anti-caking agents that prevent smooth melting.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

Add-ins like cooked bacon, spinach, or jalapeños can be folded into the mixture before baking for extra flavor and texture.
