Polenta Breakfast Cereal

(4 servings)

  • 3 cups low-fat milk
  • 1 cup dry instant polenta
  • 1 cup low-fat half-and-half
  • 3 or 4 Tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the milk and salt to a low boil.

Stir in polenta. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 5 minutes - stirring often.

Remove from heat when polenta is smooth and creamy. Stir in the 2 Tablespoons of honey.

Distribute cereal among 4 bowls. Drizzle each serving with honey. Top each bowl with 1/4 cup of half-and-half.


Polenta is made of cornmeal. This is an oatmeal-style breakfast with a great toasted corn flavor.
