Directions
This is my idea of the ultimate comfort food perfect for a gray winter morning (or any morning you’re feeling a little gray). When Mami made this for us as kids, she used to pour a little bit of milk around the edges of the plate. We’d pull some of the milk into the hot polenta with our spoons to cool it off a little before we ate it.

Whisk 2 cups milk, the egg, sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg together in a small saucepan. Put over medium-low heat and stir in the cornmeal. Cook, stirring constantly, until the milk starts to bubble and the mixture is thickened, about 10 minutes. |

Spoon the cereal onto the center of flat plates and let it run slowly out the edges. If you like, drizzle a little milk around the edges of the cereal. |
