Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Combine milk, water, and kosher salt in a large pot over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Gradually whisk polenta into boiling milk-water mixture. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer until creamy, about 20 minutes, lifting the lid and stirring every 3 to 4 minutes to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Remove the pot from heat. Stir in butter and pepper until incorporated. Gradually stir in cheese until melted. Serve hot.
