Cambozola Polenta is a take on traditional Italian polenta but with the addition of cambozola cheese for a savory twist. Polenta is a staple food in Italy, made from a simple mixture of cornmeal and liquid, and can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. Adding cambozola cheese elevates the creamy texture while providing a robust and bold flavor profile that can be appreciated by cheese lovers. It’s an easy and comforting dish that is perfect for a cozy dinner at home.

Instructions

1.	In a saucepan, heat the milk and cream over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low.
2.	Slowly whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly to prevent clumps from forming.
3.	Continue to stir and cook the polenta for 15-20 minutes, or until it becomes thick and creamy.
4.	Remove from heat and stir in the butter and egg yolks until well combined.
5.	Fold in the cambozola and parmesan cheeses until melted and smooth.
6.	Season with salt and pepper to taste.
