Ingredients for 6 servings:

  • 30 g butter
  • 30 g cheese (goat cheese), grated
  • 0.7 liters of milk
  • some salt and pepper
  • 125 g corn semolina (polenta)
  • 1 some nutmeg
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 150 g diced ham
  • 6 leaves of lamb’s lettuce or romaine lettuce
  • 6 tbsp, leveled jam (wild berry jelly)
  • Grease for the tray
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 25 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes

Bring the milk, cheese, butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to a simmer in a saucepan. Gradually stir in the polenta until it reaches a mushy consistency. Set aside for 10 minutes, then stir in the egg yolks. Spread the polenta on a smooth surface lined with cling film, place a second layer of cling film on top, and then roll it out to about 1 cm thick. Chill for 10-15 minutes. Remove the top layer of cling film and cut out discs using a ring cutter. Place on a baking sheet greased with butter or oil (I recommend baking paper). Finally, spread the cheese evenly over the discs. Place in an oven preheated to 250°C and bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown. In the meantime, arrange a lettuce leaf with a little jelly on each of 6 plates. Briefly fry the ham cubes in a pan with a little oil and then divide them between the plates. When the discs are ready, arrange them on the plates.
