Tried this version and it was okay. In subsequent attempts we doubled the shredded white cheese and added a block of cream cheese and it is awesome! My go to recipe now for grits.

Thanks for posting...I absolutely LOVE the Flying Biscuit Cafe and try to enjoy a meal there every time I visit Atlanta. These grits are just as fantastic as I remembered and really made my day. I was craving something homey and rich and creamy so this was a perfect dish. I can't believe nobody else has tried/reviewed as this is a keeper and WELL WORTH TRYING!!!!
