Polenta With Parmesan and Olive Oil-Fried Eggs image

If you've ever decided that cold cereal is a good dinner, here's another, far better option. Soft and steaming, with plenty of salt and pepper mixed in and perhaps some grated cheese applied at the end, a bowl of polenta or grits is deeply satisfying and requires not much more than a pot and a spoon to prepare. And topping the buttery, cheesy polenta with eggs fried in olive oil makes for a dish that is far more elegant and luxurious than its simple ingredients would imply.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1/2 cups low-sodium broth or water
1 1/2 cups polenta (not quick-cooking), coarse corn meal or corn grits
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 to 4 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, more to taste
1 1-ounce chunk or 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 large eggs
Coarse sea salt for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring broth or water to a simmer. Stir in the polenta and salt. Simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened to taste, 10 to 20 minutes. Stir in butter and pepper; cover pot to keep warm.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, slice cheese into slivers, or grate it on largest holes of a box grater.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil until very hot. Fry 4 eggs until edges are crispy and yolks still runny. Repeat with remaining oil and eggs.
  • Pile polenta into 4 bowls and top with cheese and then fried eggs. Garnish with sea salt and more pepper and serve.

This polenta dish was a bit bland for my taste. The polenta was creamy, but it lacked flavor. The fried eggs were also a bit overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my polenta turned out really lumpy. The fried eggs were fine, but the polenta was just not good. I'm not sure if I'll try this recipe again.

Not bad, but not great either. The polenta was a bit too dry for my taste, and the fried eggs were a bit overcooked. I think I'll stick to my usual breakfast routine.

I thought the polenta was a bit bland, but the fried eggs and Parmesan cheese made up for it. Overall, it was a good dish, but I would probably add some more seasoning to the polenta next time.
