I'm not a big fan of polenta, but this recipe was pretty good. The polenta was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I topped it with some sautéed mushrooms and it was really delicious.

This polenta is the perfect side dish. It's creamy, cheesy, and has a nice crust. I love serving it with roasted chicken or vegetables.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The polenta was bland and mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This polenta was a hit! I used a cast iron skillet and it turned out crispy and golden brown. I topped it with some sautéed mushrooms and a poached egg. So delicious!
