Our friend Brigitte, owner and creator of the Sincerely Brigitte line of flavored cheeses, has been traveling the country for weeks, exploring the cuisines of each region.
While in Tennessee, she fell in love with a grits and goat cheese dish she found in a brunch menu in Knoxville. She asked us to create a recipe inspired by it, incorporating of course one of her fabulous cheeses.
Not being very familiar with the food from the South, we experimented with a few ingredients and came up with this dish, that turned up to be really delicious. The creamy texture and heartiness of the grits is just comforting and satisfying, and just like Brigitte, we have fallen in love with them.
And we hope you do too!
Enjoy 🙂
