Smooth and creamy is super easy with this polenta recipe! Whipped goat cheese adds richness and flavor to make these waffles a winner. Try them alongside fried chicken with maple syrup, or as a base for meatballs and tomato sauce!
INGREDIENTS
4 oz. herbed goat cheese
3½ cups milk, divided
1½ cups cornmeal
&fac12; tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
3 Tbsp. flour
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 egg
DIRECTIONS
Attach upper and lower waffle plates and preheat Grill & Broil to 425°F.
In medium bowl, whip goat cheese until smooth. Whisk in ½ cup milk until smooth and creamy.
In medium sauce pan, warm 3 cups milk over medium heat. Just before milk starts to bubble, slowly whisk in corn meal, ½ cup at time.
Continue to whisk until polenta starts to pull away from sides of pan, about 4-5 minutes.
Add polenta to goat cheese and stir to combine.
Add salt, pepper, flour, corn starch and egg. Stir to combine.
Spoon ½ cup of batter (batter will be thick) into center of each waffle plate and cook for 8 minutes.
Remove waffles and place on wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining batter.
