These Polenta Cakes Are Tlc In A Pan

• 2 cups whole milk
• 4 cups water
• 2 cups polenta
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• Salt to taste
• Vegetable oil
• 8 bacon slices
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

1. Preheat oven to 375u0b0F.
2. Line cookie sheet with foil and lay strips of bacon on tray. Evenly cover the bacon with the brown sugar and place in the oven. Cook for 8 to 12 minutes depending on the crispiness of the bacon desired. Remove from oven and hold warm.
3. Spray a traditional loaf pan with vegetable spray or rub with vegetable oil and set aside. Place milk and water into sauce pot and place over medium-high heat. When it comes to a boil, slowly whisk in the polenta, keep whisking until polenta starts to thicken. Reduce the heat to low and cook polenta until smooth and creamy, about 6 minutes. Stir in honey. Stir in cheese and stir until all cheese has melted and has been incorporated. Season with salt. Pour polenta into loaf and smooth out the mixture. Place in the refrigerator and allow to cool overnight.
4. Remove polenta from the refrigerator and turn the loaf out onto a cutting board. Slice into 8 slices.
5. In a non-stick saute pan pour enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the saute pan and heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, working in batches, place polenta slices into the oil and cook until crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Plate polenta and top with candied bacon and your choice of syrup. For an added touch, grate aged white cheddar or Parmesan over top.
