I love it
Cook polenta according to pkg directions (my go to is Bobs Red Mill).
I always add milk or half n half as part of the liquid amount.
Crisp up prosciutto slices
Top the polenta with butter, Parmesan, prosciutto and green onion. S&P to taste.
It is delicious. The salty bacon is a great addition to the more bland grits. The parm gives that umami flavor and a little funk and the green onion gives it bright freshness.
Mmmmmm!
I had it as my meal this evening but this would be fine for breakfasts (add an egg or not) or as a side dish. Its pretty darn easy too.

(373 posts)I love polenta even with just butter and cheese. The bacon and green onions would certainly make it even better!
