Cheesy Polenta image

Adapted from a recipe by "dadrules" at allrecipes.com. This can be modified by addition of any herb that suits your main dish - basil, tarragon, sage, thyme and marjoram are all excellent additions. You can substitute any semi-hard, smooth-melting cheese for the Cheddar; Asiago and Italian Fontina are both excellent choices.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole milk
2 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick)

Steps:
