    How to Make Creamy Corn and Polenta Bake with Blue Cheese

    1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish

    Preheat your oven to 350ºF and position the rack in the upper third. Butter a 2-quart casserole or an 11 × 7-inch baking dish generously.

    2. Combine Ingredients and Bake

    In your prepared dish, combine the stock, milk, polenta, ¼ cup of the Parmesan cheese, and the salt. Stir these ingredients together until well mixed. Place the dish uncovered in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.

    3. Stir Polenta and Continue Baking

    Remove the dish from the oven and give the polenta a good stir. Return the dish to the oven and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes until it thickens.

    4. Add Remaining Ingredients

    Once the polenta is nicely thickened, stir in the corn, tomatoes, blue cheese, parsley, basil, and scallion. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.

    5. Broil with Parmesan and Butter

    Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese over the top and dot with the butter pieces. Switch your oven to broil and place the dish back in for 2-4 minutes until the cheese begins to bubble and brown.

    6. Rest and Garnish

    Remove the bake from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes. Garnish with extra blue cheese, parsley, and basil before serving.
