Polenta Croutons - cooking recipe

Ingredients

300 g quick polenta
5 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons dried herbs
50 g butter
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Line a flat baking tin with non-stick baking parchment or olive oil.
Cook the polenta according to packet instructions.
When it is done, stir in the Parmesan, dried herbs, butter, salt and pepper, making sure that it is adequately seasoned.
While still hot, pour it out evenly to make a thin even layer, smoothing it out with the back of a wooden spoon or palate knife.
Leave to cool completely, so that it is firm.
Cut it with a small round pastry cutter (2inches/5cm).
Place the polenta croutons in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
