Ingredients

scaled from 4 servings
  • 1/2 cup instant polenta
  • 2 cups vegetable broth

  • 1/4 cup fresh basil

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Bring vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. Gradually whisk in the instant polenta, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce heat and cook for about 5 minutes until thickened. Divide the polenta into four bowls.
  2. While the polenta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften and burst. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Once the polenta is ready, spoon it into serving bowls. Top each with the sautéed cherry tomatoes, torn fresh basil, and chunks of mozzarella cheese.
  4. Drizzle each bowl with a teaspoon of olive oil and garnish with additional basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately for a warm, savory breakfast.
