How to Make Polenta With Green Chiles And Cheese
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Butter an 8x8x2-inch baking dish.
- In a heavy saucepan, whisk together milk, water, cornmeal, minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until the polenta is thick and creamy, about 12-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
- Pour half of the polenta into the prepared baking dish.
- Layer half of the green chiles, half of the corn, and half of the cilantro over the polenta. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese.
- Drizzle with 1/4 cup of heavy cream.
- Repeat layers with remaining polenta, green chiles, corn, cilantro, and Monterey Jack cheese. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup of heavy cream.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the polenta is puffed and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy!
