Step 1

Combine 2 cups milk and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil over medium to medium-high heat, but do not scorch. Add grits and cook for 20 minutes on low, stirring often.

Step 2

Remove from heat and whisk in salt, pepper, butter, and cheese. Fold in diced ham and green onions.

Step 3

Transfer grits mixture to a casserole dish and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (and up to overnight).

Step 4

When ready to fry the fritters, heat 3 inches of canola oil to 350˚. Mix teaspoon of water with eggs and whisk well. Pour breadcrumbs into a separate bowl.

Step 5

Using your hands, roll spoonfuls of the cooled grits into balls about 2 inches across. Dip fritters one at a time first into egg mixture and then into breadcrumbs before frying.

Step 6

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per small batch. Set aside to drain on paper towels before serving.
