Tips
- You can prepare this up to 2 hours in advance. Keep warm in double boiler until ready to serve.
- Toss 8 oz. sliced mushrooms with 1 tsp oil; place on cookie sheet and roast in 350°F oven 10-12 minutes. Place polenta into ovenproof serving dishes, top with roasted mushrooms, sprinkle with additional cheese and bake in a 325°F oven for 5-6 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
