Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 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

Instruction

  • 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.
