Polenta With Winter Salad, Poached Egg, And Blue Cheese From 'Feast'

1. 1

   Bring 3 cups (720 ml) of the water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Slowly add the polenta, stir with a wooden spoon, and add 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the polenta is tender and fully cooked, about 20 minutes. Add the milk, 2 tablespoons of the butter, and the cheddar to the polenta and stir together over medium-low heat until just warmed through and soft enough to drop easily from a spoon, a few minutes more. Cover to keep warm.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in your largest skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are charred and have burst, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the radicchio and frisee and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, the remaining 1/2 cup (120 ml) water, and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Reduce the heat to medium-low and toss together.

3. 3

   Spoon the polenta into bowls and top with the salad and poached eggs. Crumble the blue cheese over the top before serving.
