Mini Polenta Pizza with Cheese and Tomato

I opened my fridge looking for the typical question – what to make for dinner tonight? I’ve been holding onto the polenta tube in my fridge for quite some time so I thought I should make something of it! Ever look at something and wonder, what am I going to do with that? With cheese and tomato in hand, I called it a day.

Let’s look at the pricing here:

  • polenta: $2.99
  • tomato: $.40
  • Cheese: $2.00

Total: $5.39

Served: 12   Total per serving: $.45!!!!!

If you are on a budget, this is perfect! Add some side(s) and call it a day! To make this recipe even better, its easy. I don’t know about you but I like easy when my brain is fried by the end of the day!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tube of Polenta
  • 1 tomato: sliced
  • Shredded Cheese (I used sharp cheddar)
  • Pepper

Recipe as follows:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees

2. Slice 12 or more rounds – 1/2″ thick

3. Add oil to skillet over medium heat.

4. Place polenta into skillet being sure not to crowd them. Cook on both sides, flipping after 5 minutes.

5. Place into greased (I used pam spray) pan and add toppings of choice.

Note: I added cheese, followed by a tomato slice on top and then freshly cracked pepper.

6. Bake 15-20 minutes.

Serve over a bed of greens, serve with a side. Sit back and enjoy!
