To prepare this delicious polenta with cheese, first of all, we need to make sure we have all the necessary ingredients at hand. We start by making a suitably thick polenta. In a pot, we bring about 1 liter of water to a boil, to which we add a teaspoon of salt. When the water starts to boil, we begin to gradually add 250 grams of cornmeal, stirring constantly with a whisk or a wooden spoon to prevent lumps from forming. We continue to stir for about 15-20 minutes, until the polenta becomes homogeneous and easily separates from the walls of the pot. Once the polenta is ready, we take it off the heat and add 100 grams of grated Parmesan or cheese, along with a few pieces of butter, salt, and pepper to taste. We mix all the ingredients well until the cheese and butter are completely incorporated. The next step is to prepare a heat-resistant dish that we grease with butter to prevent sticking. We pour an even layer of polenta at the bottom of the dish and level it with a spatula. Then, we prepare the filling: we slice onions and roasted peppers, which we arrange evenly on top of the polenta. Next come some pieces of fried sausage and crispy bacon, which we cooked separately until golden and delicious. This mixture of ingredients will add a rich and savory flavor to our dish. After placing all the ingredients, we cover with another layer of polenta, smoothing the surface well. In a separate bowl, we beat a few eggs with 200 grams of sour cream, and then we pour this mixture evenly over the layer of polenta. Finally, we sprinkle grated cheese on top, which will form a delicious crust during baking. We place the dish in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the surface is nicely browned and appetizing. When ready, we take the dish out of the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. We serve this warm polenta alongside a fresh seasonal salad or pickles. It is particularly tasty if accompanied by sauerkraut and, for an extra flavor, with sauerkraut juice. This combination will make our dish truly irresistible and suitable for any occasion. Enjoy your meal!
