______________________________________________________________
This is a new recipe for us and what a winner! We were both overwhelmed by the presentation on this one. It's especially amazing given how easy this is to prepare. This is a "make-for-the-prospective-in-laws" recipe if I ever saw one - given that your prospective in-laws eat eggs and are ok with meals that don't contain meat! The flavors are very clean and you can really taste each ingredient. The original didn't have the tomatoes, but both M and I think they are integral to the finished product and so the posted recipe has the sauteed tomatoes as a component part. This was our first time using prepared polenta and we were not expecting it to be so wet when we removed it from the tube. It turns out fine, so don't worry. We do, however, note that this would be excellent and better for you (though not quite so elegant or quite as easy (close to as easy though!)) if you used quick cooking polenta (such as Red Mill brand). I would make a 1 cup recipe and stir the cheese into it once it was cooked. Regardless of how you end up making it, this is a winner.

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Very easy
Chopping: Grate cheese
Time: 25 minutes
Make ahead: You could probably do the croutons ahead, but I would probably do it all last minute.

Reaction
J: "Stacks of joy."
M: "Beautiful and tasty."
