Ingredients
- 1 bowl cold polenta chilled in a square or rectangular dish (see recipe card below or NOTES)
- 6 pieces mozzarella cheese or melty cheese of your choice
Instructions
- Cut polenta into the slices when cold.
- Place onto an oiled grill or rack placed under the broiler.
- Cook until the polenta starts to brown and crisp, then turn over and cook the other side.
- Serve plain, if desired. However, if you like cheese, add a slice of mozzarella and put back under the broiler until nicely browned. If you cooked the polenta on a grill, you may want to finish it off with cheese under a broiler/grill.
- Serve hot. You can also serve with a little tomato sauce.

Notes
- See here for polenta recipe
- You will need a baking sheet and oiled baking rack so the polenta doesn't stick.
