Polenta Pizzette for Picky Eaters

Pan-fried polenta topped like a pizza- call it lunch.

We made mini polenta pizzas yesterday and my picky eaters devoured them within seconds. This recipe is not for the from-scratch set, rather it’s for overtired moms who don’t know which way is up and have run flat out of lunchtime ideas for their finicky wee ones. But honestly after serving these up, I think even the gourmands of the world might like my polenta pizzette too- quick, easy and flavorful- these are my new go-to bites.

What You Need:

Polenta
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Marinara Sauce (make it yourself or use from a jar- I’ll admit I do on occassion. Trader Joe’s makes some decent marinara sauce that goes over big in this house)
Salt to taste
Olive Oil

What You Do: 

1. Slice your polenta into thin discs.

2. Drizzle olive oil (or your cooking oil of choice) onto a frying pan.

3. Pan fry your polenta on med high until crisp and slightly browned.

4. Top with a dollop of marinara sauce and shredded cheese.

5. Sprinkle with salt.

6. Voilá and Serve.

Cin Cin and Enjoy.
