Reduce the heat to a simmer and gradually whisk in the cornmeal.
Cook, stirring, until tender, 30 to 35 minutes. (The polenta should still be thin enough to pour.)
Stir in the butter, parsley, salt and pepper, and a few grates of nutmeg.
Butter a deep 7 by 11-inch baking dish.
Pour in one-quarter of the polenta and top with Havarti Cheese Slices. Add another quarter of the polenta, followed by Mascarpone.
Add another layer of polenta and the Blue Cheese or Colby Cheddar or Brie Slices. Top with the remaining polenta and sprinkle with the Parm. Top with the rosemary.
Make-ahead: Cool, cover, and refrigerate.
Night of: Return the polenta to room temp while you preheat the oven.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bake the casserole until golden, 20 to 30 minutes if baking from hot; 30 to 45 minutes if baking from room temperature. |
