Here is how you make Creole Cheese Grits Florentine:

Makes 6 half cup servings. Heat the broth to a simmer, add the grits and cook til thick. Remove from heat, stir in cheeses to melt them and reserve. Saute the onion, pepper(s) and celery in the olive oil til tender. Add the frozen spinach and saute to warm the spinach. Combine the grits and spinach, and hold over low heat until ready to serve. If I want to make a larger quantity, I usually just add an extra box of spinach, instead of actually doubling the recipe.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user COOKING42.
