Cheesy Grits With Scallions

• 3 cups water
• 2 cups milk
• 1 small onion, minced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup grits (not instant)
• 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped thyme leaves

1. In a large saucepan, combine the water, milk, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat and simmer over moderate heat until the onion and garlic are softened, about 3 minutes. Return to a boil and whisk in the grits. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until the grits are tender, about 25 minutes.
3. Add the cheese, scallions, and thyme and stir until the cheese has melted. Transfer to bowls and serve.
