Savory Breakfast Polenta Bowls- Vegetarian Delight!

Savory Breakfast Polenta Bowls- Vegetarian Delight!

What could be simpler? I love Polenta when it’s cold outside! This is lightly cheesy and buttered with a handful of fresh baby spinach leaves, and topped with pan fried eggs and garnished with tomatoes. Delish! Polenta usually starts appearing at my grocery store in the fall through the winter. It’s even what the Roman army ate during campaigns centuries ago, and what helped the Italians survive hard times. You might get lucky and break into double yolk jumbo eggs like I did!
