Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 Fahrenheit (204 °C).
  2. Cook the polenta first. Heat up a pan with the polenta and gradually pour in the water. Season with salt and stir continuously until the polenta thickens and it bubbles up.
  3. Divide the cooked bacon pieces and shredded cheese between your baking dishes.
  4. Split the polenta between the two baking dishes.
  5. Make a slight well into the polenta and break an egg into each baking dish.
  6. Bake polenta and egg for about 20 minutes at 400 Fahrenheit (204 °C) or until the egg is cooked through, uncovered.
  7. When baked, take out to cool and top with the chopped fresh chives or green onions. Enjoy hot!
