This was my first time making polenta and it turned out great! The recipe was easy to follow and the polenta was creamy and flavorful. The poached eggs were also cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The polenta was too thick and the eggs were overcooked. I had to throw the whole thing away. I don't recommend this recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of polenta, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The polenta was creamy and flavorful, and the poached eggs were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again, but I might try a different topping next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my polenta turned out really thick and gloopy. The eggs were also overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I usually add some shredded cheese to the polenta and top it with a fried egg. It's the perfect comfort food for a cold day.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The poached eggs were a little runny for my taste, but that's just personal preference. The polenta was smooth and creamy, and the flavors were well-balanced. Definitely recommend!

Not bad at all! The polenta had a nice texture but the flavors were a bit bland. I think next time I'll add some herbs or cheese to give it more depth. Overall, a good basic recipe.
