Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

14 baby bella mushrooms, stemmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 ½ cups water
2 cups half-and-half
¾ cup polenta
¾ cup diced Swiss cheese
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon black truffle salt, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place mushrooms in a large baking dish, gill-side up. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over mushrooms. Crush thyme between your fingers; sprinkle over mushrooms.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a plate using tongs. Leave any accumulated juices in the baking dish.
  • Bring water and half-and-half to a boil in a large pot. Add polenta in a steady stream, whisking constantly. Reduce heat and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add Swiss cheese, sea salt, and pepper; stir until cheese is melted.
  • Pour hot polenta into the same baking dish used to bake the mushrooms. Smooth the top with a spatula. Arrange mushrooms, gill-side up, in the polenta. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until mushrooms are soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and garnish with truffle salt.
