A savory, cheesy pie that makes a hearty winter appetizer. I served it with Ina Garten’s roasted tomato caprese salad and if I do say so myself, it was quite the hit!

I just told my husband I wasn’t hungry for lunch – I was wrong. (I just don’t have that pie here!)
This looks so yummy! I think you deserve extra credit for the alliteration!
Oh your pie looks delicious! I will be right over. Shoot, I have to start dinner soon so I will be over for dessert.
Oh my this is too much for my very hungry tummy! These photos rock!
I never has polenta but it looks delicious.
Oh my goodness, that looks so scrumptious. I can almost reach in and have a piece!
Hello.
My mouth is watering at these images. Anything with cheese & butter has to be good!
Awesome presentation.

Looks delicious — very nice “p”
The most delicious ‘P’ this week. I bought one of Michael Pollan’s books, “Food Rules”, which nets out his two biggest sellers. Now, when birthdays roll around this year, I will be gifting this book along with regularly scheduled gifts. Thank you for introducing us to him!
OMG!! That looks absolutely divine! I WILL make one!!!
Mmmmm! I think I could get very fat reading your blog. :))
What a delicious take on polenta – This looks absolutely mouthwatering! Great recipe. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice weekend!
This looks just so amazing!
This will be perfect for Winter which feels like it will arrive before I know it! Love the cheese layer on top and the fact that you used onion for flavour 😀
