Spinach and Cheese Grits

July 9, 2015 by Char

I make grits and cheesy grits all the time but spinach and cheese grits are something special!  I was making cheesy grits one day and found some fresh spinach in the fridge and decided to see what the combination would taste like. I use spinach and cheese in omelets so why not grits? I sometimes make cheesy spinach as a side so I decided to give it a try – after all a classic combination is a classic combination, right?  I can only say that I’m so glad that I decided to experiment! This dish is good – I mean really, really good! Check out the recipe and photo – you can almost taste them! Luscious!

      Hi Holly! So glad you liked the spinach and cheese grits! I agree with you, they are absolutely delicious! The flavors all compliment each other and they give the grits a special, unexpected “trip to flavor town” (Thanks GF)!
