Savory Breakfast Polenta with Poached Egg

Step 1

Bring the water and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan.

Step 2

Whisking constantly, slowly pour in the polenta in a thin stream to prevent lumps.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, for 20-25 minutes until thick and creamy.

Step 4

Stir the parmesan and butter into the cooked polenta until melted and smooth; cover to keep warm.

Step 5

Meanwhile, bring a separate pot of water to a gentle simmer and crack each egg into a small cup.

Step 6

Swirl the simmering water and slide in the eggs one at a time, poaching for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.

Step 7

Divide the polenta among bowls, top each with a poached egg, and scatter with chives before serving.
