The latest food craze I’m on is this simple dish made quickly with inexpensive ingredients probably found in almost every kitchen. I simply call it polenta with fried eggs but if you want to be fancy it could be called Polenta a la carte!!
To start with you chop some onions and garlic and sauté them in oil or butter if you’re rich enough to have that on hand. Next add either chicken broth or water with chicken bouillon cubes and salt. Bring that to a boil and add cornmeal- any texture you want, its delicious with course grits or with fine ground it just depends what you have on hand. Cook it for a while and then add some milk or cream just like a half cup or however much you need to make it nice and creamy but still thick. Then put the lid on and let it sit while you fry the eggs.
For the eggs- melt butter or margarine in a pan and let it get hot but not too hot then crack your egg open right in the middle of your butter or if your paranoid you can always put it in a small dish and then transfer it to the hot pan. However you do it please be so careful not to pop the yolk. After you have it in the pan hover over it with eagle eye, adjust the temperature accordingly to cook it nicely with out making brown crispy edges. When the white part turns white gently take a spatula and expertly flip it to the other side once again being ever so careful with that golden yolk. Leave it for about 2.5 seconds and then grab a plate put a big pile of polenta in the middle and then lift the egg and place it right smack in the middle of the polenta.
You will feel quite excited at this point which is normal! Grab the salt grinder and grind madly over the egg and then repeat with the pepper grinder. Sprinkle lightly with cayenne pepper and a good size pinch of fresh chopped parsley. Whisper a prayer of thanks to Jesus and then dig in!!
Just look at that liquid gold running out warm over the hot, creamy polenta! Its exploding with flavor and unexpected richness pared with fresh parsley that adds a touch of freshness! And its all common simple ingredients put together in just the right way to create a masterpiece that will make your taste buds sing and hearts happy!

Instead of corn meal I add a few handfuls of oatmeal.

Polenta? We called that cooked mush at home, minus the onion and parsely. I like cooked mush with butter, sugar and milk and eat it for breakfast or sometimes supper.
Fried mush with egg all mixed together and eaten with toast and apple butter is good. joy
Oh, I am so making this tomorrow! Why didn't I know about this! I have cornmeal on hand, and chicken broth (of course!) And good fresh eggs? What doth hinder me?
