Ingredients

  17 oz cooked cornmeal, in the form of a prepared polenta log, sliced into 16 rounds   
2 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray   
8 tsp grated Parmesan cheese, divided (Parmigiano Reggiano recommended)   
2 tsp olive oil   
  1 1/4 pound(s) fresh mushroom(s), shiitake caps and Baby Bellas, sliced   
2 tsp minced garlic   
1 tsp rosemary, fresh, chopped   
1/4 tsp table salt   
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground   
3 Tbsp 1/3 less fat cream cheese   
1/4 cup(s) water   
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, fresh, chopped (for garnish)   

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil (for easy clean-up) or coat pan with cooking spray.

  • Arrange polenta on pan in a single layer. Lightly coat polenta with cooking spray and sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon of cheese; bake until cheese is lightly browned, about 15 to 18 minutes.

  • While polenta rounds bake, prepare mushroom topping. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. Stir in garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  • Stir cream cheese and water into skillet; cook over low heat until cream cheese melts and mixture looks creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.

  • To assemble, place about 2 tablespoons of mushroom mixture onto each polenta round. Sprinkle each round with 1/4 teaspoon cheese; sprinkle with parsley to garnish. Yields 2 polenta rounds per serving.

Notes

  • You can make the polenta rounds and top them with the mushroom mixture a few hours before you plan to serve them. Just reheat them in a 350ºF oven for about 10 minutes. Then create a festive serving platter garnish using rosemary sprigs and some fresh or dried cranberries.

I guess I altered the recipe quite a bit, but as I made it, it was delicious. I made my own polenta (just a mixture of corn meal and water, very easy to do). I did not have cream cheese on hand, so I used two wedges of laughing cow herb and garlic cheese instead. It is also good with a tablespoon of sherry added during the mushroom sauteeing phase. These were a huge hit, even with people who generally don't like mushrooms.

YUM!! I served this as an appetizer when my friends came over and everyone loved it, even the one who does not eat mushrooms. I used sandwich skinny bread rounds (4 pieces, split into 8 halves) instead of polenta and cut them into fourths. Worked very nicely and the leftovers heated up well for lunch the next day.
