POLENTA CAKES (MEXICAN BREAKFAST RECIPE)

Posted on 381 views

Polenta Cakes are sautéed goodness sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. This Mexican breakfast formula is sweet, rich, and delightful.

When you attempt polenta for breakfast, you will have another most loved dish. Pair it with some fresh bacon and a shower of maple syrup, and you will have a feast made for a ruler! It’s that acceptable and will satisfy those demanding eaters as well.

Polenta is so flexible and can be made by barbecuing, preparing, or fricasseeing it. In the event that you’ve never attempted it, it’s ground cornmeal that has been overflowed with water or stock. You can eat it directly out of the bundle or cook it. I couldn’t say whether I have at any point discovered something so natural to adjust. Goodness, and the best part is you can eat it hot or cold.

Breakfast is truly one of my #1 suppers in light of the fact that there are such countless delectable plans out there. Evaluate my Grits Ham and Cheese Cups, Quiche Lorraine, or my Italian Sausage Gouda Spinach Strata whenever you are attempting to add some flair to your morning meal.

Ingredients

  • 24 oz San Gennaro Traditional Polenta (cooked/packaged, See Note 1)
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Garnish
  • pan drippings or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Slice the polenta into 8-12 pieces for 2-3 per person. In a small bowl mix the cinnamon and sugar.
  2. Using a paper towel, dry any excess water on each polenta slice and dust evenly on each side with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  3. In a non-stick skillet over medium low heat melt the butter and cook each slice on both sides until light golden brown and crisp to your liking.
  4. Top it off with pan drippings or warm maple syrup. I typically serve alongside crisp bacon and some sliced fruit for a filling breakfast.

Notes

  • If making your own polenta, cook per package instructions and pour into a greased 8×8″ square dish and allow to cool, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to harden. Cut into squares and follow instructions above.
