Method

1

Bring water to a boil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Add salt.

2

Slowly whisk in the polenta, ensuring no lumps form. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 45-50 minutes, or until the polenta is very smooth and creamy. It should pull away from the sides of the pot.

3

While the polenta is cooking, shred the Fontina cheese.

4

Once the polenta is cooked, remove from heat. Stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.

5

Add the shredded Fontina cheese and stir vigorously until the cheese is completely melted and the polenta is smooth and cheesy.

6

Season with black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
