Stove top is easier (for me) than microwave. Took not much more time, I controlled the consistency and the taste was YUM! Will admit to using Boursin, not a blue (currently quarantining and had no blue). Will try it next time with a sharp blue!

Since I learned how to make polenta in a microwave I no longer make it the old fashion way. In a microwave, it takes much less attention and goes faster. Mix cornmeal and water. Stir. Cover. Microwave 9 min. Stir. Cover. Microwave 3 more minutes. Stir in corn. Cover. Microwave 3 more minutes. Stir in cheese. Done.
