Chef's Notes Cheesy Breakfast Polenta Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup polenta


• 2 cups whole milk


• 2 tbsp butter


• 1/2 tsp cajun seasoning optional


• 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese


• salt and pepper to taste


• 2 eggs


• 2 tsp white vinegar

Directions:

1. Break the eggs into two ramekins and add the vinegar.


2. Fill a medium pot 3/4 full with water and put it on the stove on high heat.


3. Pour the milk into a second pot and put on the stove on medium-high heat.


4. Once the milk is just under a boil, whisk in the cornmeal and cajun seasoning.


5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and whisk until the polenta is the texture of scrambled eggs. This will take about 10 minutes. I suggest setting a ten minutes timer. When there are four minutes left on the timer, put the eggs in the water.


6. Once the pot of water comes to a boil, turn the heat down to medium-high. Stir the water to make a funnel in the middle then add in the eggs one at a time. Cook the eggs for four minutes, then scoop them out of the water using a slotted spoon. Pat them dry with a paper towel.


7. Take the polenta off the stove and whisk in the butter then the cheese. Divide the polenta among two bowls and top with the poached eggs. A few drops of hot sauce will really make the polenta pop.
