Cheesy Polenta Sandwiches - La Polenta del Reggitore

By , About.com Guide

This is an old, old recipe for cheesy polenta sandwiches. Perfect winter comfort food.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Leftover or store-bought polenta, sliced thinly
  • The soft, spreadable cheese of choice

Preparation:

This is simple, but one could do a lot worse than the reggitore.

You'll need left-over or store-purchased polenta; slice it thinly and grill it well over the coals, turning the slices a couple of times. No grill? A broiler will work well too.

Take half the slices and spread soft cheese over them, be it raveggiolo, mozzarella, or stracchino as you prefer (you could also use something like cream cheese).

Put the remaining slices over those spread with the cheese so as to make sandwiches, heat them through over the grill or under the broiler, if need be, and you're set.

This will be nice at a luncheon, but will also be an unusual and tasty addition to a barbecue -- or a winter hearthside snack.
