Quick Polenta Rounds With Sage Butter and Parmesan

Ingredients

• cooking spray

• 1 (16 ounce) package prepared polenta (original, unflavored)
• 1/2 cup of freshly shredded parmesan cheese
• romano cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1. 1

   Spray or spread cooking oil on the bottom and sides of a broiler-safe baking dish.

2. 2

   Cut polenta in 1/4" thick disks. Place these disks on the bottom of the greased baking dish, overlapping them slightly so that there is no space in between disks.

3. 3

   Sprinkle cheese evenly across the polenta.

4. 4

   In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add olive oil. When the butter/oil mixture is fully heated, immediately add sage, stirring constantly. Cook for no more than 30 seconds.

5. 5

   Add chopped garlic and sauté very briefly, until garlic starts to perfume the oil but has not yet browned. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and drizzle over polenta.

6. 6

   Broil for 3-5 minutes.
