Author Notes
This can be serve almost like a quiche with a side salad or as a side dish, preferably with a dish with succulent sauce to soak the wedges in. Your ham a cheese taste in a completely different form. And if you are too hungry to wait you can always eat it right after cooking in the polenta form, though the grilled cheese taste is just perfect. —Cordelia
