Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Vegetable oil, for greasing pan
1 (16-ounce) package instant polenta
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease an 11 by 17-inch baking sheet pan with oil. Line pan with waxed paper. The oil will secure the waxed paper onto the pan.
  • In a large pot bring to a boil 2 quarts of salted water. Stir in extra-virgin olive oil. When water has reached a boil, reduce heat to medium high and slowly add the polenta, whisking constantly for 3 minutes. When polenta is thick and smooth, pour it into the prepared pan. Spread the polenta evenly.
  • Bake in oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan. Note: the polenta will not brown or change in color. When cool enough to handle, cut into any shape you desire. I like to cut out 2-inch circles.

Steps:

  • While the polenta is still warm, pour it into a bowl, loaf pan, or other mold, lightly coated with olive oil. Lay plastic wrap right on top of the polenta to minimize crusting. Let it cool thoroughly at room temperature until firm. For longer keeping, refrigerate, up to 2 days.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400˚ and set a rack in the center. Coat a baking dish or sheet pan lightly with butter. Unmold the polenta, and cut it in ±-inch-thick slices. Cut the slices into any size and shape you like-smaller for hors d'oeuvres or appetizers, or larger to serve as an accompaniment to a main course.
  • Arrange the pieces in the dish or baking sheet spaced apart, so they will crisp all around. Dot the top of each piece with bits of butter, and, if you like, mound a bit of cheese on top as well: grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano; shredded fontina (imported), mozzarella (drypacked), Muenster, or Cheddar; or a combination of cheeses. Bake until the polenta is crispy and golden and the cheese has toasted to a dark-gold crust, 15 to 20 minutes.
