Ingredients
-
2 cups whole milk
-
2 cups water
-
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
-
1 cup polenta or yellow cornmeal
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
-
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
4 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions
-
Combine milk, water, and kosher salt in a large pot over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Gradually whisk polenta into boiling milk-water mixture. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until creamy, about 20 minutes, lifting the lid and stirring every 3 to 4 minutes to prevent sticking.
-
Remove the pot from heat. Stir in butter and pepper until incorporated. Gradually stir in cheese until melted. Serve hot.
