Skillet Polenta with Tomatoes and Gorgonzola

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups water
1 and 1/3 cups yellow cornmeal
1 and 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup slivered fresh basil leaves

2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450°F.

Brush 12-inch diameter ovenproof skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Combine 4 cups water, yellow cornmeal, and salt in heavy large saucepan.

Bring to boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly.

Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until polenta is very thick and pulls away from sides of pan, whisking constantly, about 3 minutes.

Whisk in remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/4 cup basil.

Transfer polenta to prepared skillet; flatten polenta to even thickness.

Sprinkle polenta with tomatoes and garlic.

Sprinkle evenly with Gorgonzola, mozzarella, and remaining 1/4 cup basil.
