I am in a breakfast rut. Most mornings I have a hard boiled egg, some fruit, and a cup of coffee. After making polenta for dinner a week or so ago, I decided it would also be delicious for breakfast. Time to change things up! I made my breakfast polenta with milk to make it creamy. The toppings, like oatmeal, make the bowl sing. I added pure maple syrup and strawberries. Other toppings or add-ins might include: vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, blueberries, blackberries, heavy cream. The possibilities are endless.
It took less than 10 minutes to make. While not instant, it is still a quick and easy breakfast!
CREAMY BREAKFAST POLENTA
1/2 cup Corn Grits or corn meal { I used Bob’s Red Mill Corn Grits}
1 1/2 cup Milk
Bring milk to a boil. Add corn grits and reduce heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and cover for a couple of minutes. Add desired toppings and enjoy! Serves 2.
