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!
