This turned out delicious. I used feta cheese inside but crumbled a bit of blue cheese on top just before serving. With all the blue cheese it would be too intense for me. Broiled parmesan and butter made a delicious crust. Will definitely make this dish again.

Used feta instead of blue cheese, easy weeknight meal and is great as leftovers

I am fairly new to polenta/grits dishes and here is another one that I really liked. The oven method worked perfectly for the polenta and all the add-ins make this a substantial dish that I ate as my main. I added spinach (as suggested) and was heavier on the scallions. Blue cheese is a personal favourite and so I loved it here but I'm sure it would be equally good with other assertive cheeses. I also agree with breakthroughc - I can see lots of possibilities to change it up using what you have on hand with the same cooking method.

This was delicious. I added some arugula and it was a satisfying vegetarian main course. I served it with a salad. It makes a huge amount, I can’t imagine 4. people finishing it. The blue cheese wasn’t my favorite, I might sub another cheese next time. I can see adapting the method to other flavor profiles. Soy chorizo, green chilies and pepper jack cheese would be good.
