Gorgonzola Baked Polenta recipes, December 15, 2022December 15, 2022 Polenta—the Italian cornmeal dish that bears more than a passing resemblance to grits—is made even more delicious here with a combination of three different kinds of cheese, including plenty of tangy blue Gorgonzola. INGREDIENTS Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper2 c. coarse polenta1 c. whole milk1 oz. Parmesan, grated (about 1/2 cup)4 oz. Gorgonzola dolce, broken into 1/2-inch pieces4 oz. Fontina, cut into 1/2-inch pieces METHOD In a large pot, bring 5 cups lightly salted water to a boil. Add polenta, and whisk to combine. Lower heat to the lowest setting and cook, stirring often, until all the water has absorbed and the polenta is very thick, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in milk and cook, stirring often, until thick, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in Parmesan and season with pepper. Transfer to a 1.5- to 2-quart baking or gratin dish and smooth top. Cool until cool enough to stick a finger into, then scatter the Gorgonzola and Fontina pieces over top. Press cheese into the polenta with your fingers. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours and up to 2 days. Remove polenta from fridge and let sit at room temperature while oven is heating. Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in the top position. Bake, uncovered, until bubbling and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes before serving. Uncategorized
