    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    3 cups milk
    3 tbsp.unsalted butter
    3/4 cup cornmeal(not stone ground)
    3 tbsp.sour cream
    2 1/2 tbsp.grated Gruyere or Swiss cheese
    2 1/2 tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    1/3 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese,plus six 1x1 inch thin slices
    1/3 cup (generous) golden raisins
    freshly ground nutmeg
    salt and freshly ground pepper
    fine bread crumbs

    In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring milk and butter to a boil. Pour in the cornmeal in a thin stream,whisking constantly. When the mixture becomes very thick,change to a wooden spoon. Boil, stirring constantly,until very smooth, 5 minutes.

    Stir in the sour cream,grated Gruyere, Parmesan cheese, crumbled Gorgonzola,raisins and a little nutmeg, beating until smooth. Remove from heat and add salt and pepper to taste.

    Spoon the cornmeal mixture into 6 1/2 cup ramekins or custard cups, banging the molds gently on a work surface to settle the mixture, and smoothing the tops with a spatula. Cool at least 15 minutes.(Recipe can be prepared in advance through this step). Preheat oven to 450F.

    Carefully run a knife around the polenta molds and unmold them onto a generously buttered baking dish.Place a slice of Gorgonzola on top of each one;sprinkle with a fine layer of bread crumbs.Bake 10-12 minutes; then run the baking dish briefly under the boiler, just until lightly golden. Serve immediately.
