Cooking Ingredients

Method

Prepare Cheese Mixture

  1. 1

    Mix Cheeses

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.

Prepare Cornmeal Base

  1. 2

    Cook Cornmeal

    In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and gradually whisk in the cornmeal to prevent lumps from forming. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 10 minutes).

Combine and Cook

  1. 3

    Melt Butter

    In a large skillet, melt the homemade butter over medium heat until bubbling.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the butter is melted, add the cooked cornmeal to the skillet and mix well. Gradually stir in the cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.

  3. 5

    Season and Cook

    Add black pepper to taste and continue to cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture is heated through and creamy (about 5 minutes).
