Grits Crostini takes a Southern twist where toasted bread is replaced with grits. We top these bite-size appetizers with Caramelized Apples and Onions.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups cooked grits, cooled
Caramelized Apples and Onions
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded fontina cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 °. Sift together first 4 ingredients into a bowl. Whisk together milk and next 2 ingredients in another bowl; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moistened. Whisk in grits. Spoon into greased 12-cup muffin pans (1 Tbsp. per cup).
Bake, in batches, at 425 ° for 12 to 15 minutes or until crostini is golden. Immediately remove from pans to wire racks; cool 30 minutes. Reduce oven to 375 °.
Meanwhile, prepare Caramelized Apples and Onions.
Place crostini on a baking sheet. Top each with 1 tsp. Caramelized Apples and Onions; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 375 ° for 8 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with thyme; serve immediately.
