This creamy microwave polenta is a quick and delicious dish, perfect for a comforting meal.
Combine the water, salt, and cornmeal in a 2-quart microwave-safe dish.
Whisking the mixture thoroughly prevents lumps from forming.
Microwave the mixture on high for 6 minutes, then stir well.
Stirring ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
Cover the dish with a paper towel and microwave on high for another 6 minutes.
The paper towel prevents splatters and keeps the microwave clean.
Stir in the butter, black pepper, and blue cheese until well combined.
Adding the cheese while the polenta is hot helps it melt smoothly.
Serve the polenta warm, garnished with additional cheese or herbs if desired.
Serving the polenta immediately ensures the best texture and flavor.
