Fried grits have been a staple in southern homes since the beginning of time, but broiling could be so much easier! Thanks for the idea!

Genius! I have a picky toddler and while he will eat polenta with sour cream and salty cheese, I love this variation for the next night.

Merrill, this is genius. Just the other night I made polenta with Dom's mother's "sauce" and meatballs, but couldn't get the polenta to crisp up on the stovetop. But broiling! Why didn't I think of broiling? Totally putting this on the must-try list. And those photos of Clara are delicious as well.

You can also cut the polenta into 'fries' for dipping in marinara. Excellent recipe plus beautiful little lady :)

The food sounds great, but the photos of your daughter are true works of art.

If you don't have a broiler (or if your's is out of commission), just throw these tasty bites into your trusted pan and brown them on the stove. You can also grill tehm on your panini press (open) or on your grill (cut them into somewhat larger flat pieces).

Great idea! Trying this next time I make polenta for myself (noone at my house likes it either) and have leftovers...
