Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Polenta (cornmeal)
- 3 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 ounces Brie cheese
- 1 cup Red grapes
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a pizza pan with a little olive oil.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and slowly whisk in the polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking the polenta, stirring frequently, for about 10-15 minutes until it is thick and smooth.
Pour the cooked polenta into the prepared baking dish or pizza pan. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer. Let it cool and set for about 15 minutes.
Slice the brie cheese into thin pieces and halve the red grapes. Set them aside.
Drizzle the polenta crust with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Evenly distribute the sliced brie over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Scatter the halved red grapes over the cheese. Sprinkle with fresh rosemary and black pepper for added flavor.
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the brie is melted and bubbly and the grapes are slightly roasted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with honey if desired for added sweetness.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Polenta Pizza with Brie and Red Grapes!
