👨‍🍳Method

The Bone Broth Polenta

10 min

In a small saucepan, bring your bone broth to a boil. Slowly whisk in your dry polenta. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring continuously, until it becomes thick and creamy. Spoon it directly into the center of a wide plate.

💡The bone broth makes this polenta taste like it was cooked in butter without a single gram of added fat.

The Double Egg Hack

5 min

Bring a pot of water with a splash of vinegar to a gentle simmer. Create a gentle whirlpool and poach your 1 whole egg perfectly for 3-4 minutes. For the second "egg," lightly spray a small round ramekin with zero-calorie oil, pour in your 150g of liquid egg whites, and gently steam or microwave until they set into a solid, white dome.

💡The ramekin creates a perfect dome shape that looks exactly like a second poached egg.

Plate the Protein

1 min

Place your real poached egg and your massive egg-white dome side-by-side directly on top of the warm polenta bed.

Make it Snow

2 min

Take your cold block of light goat cheese and use a fine grater or micro-plane to shower the cheese over the eggs, the polenta, and the entire plate, creating that stunning, rustic blizzard effect.

💡Freezing the cheese for 10 minutes makes it much easier to grate into fine, fluffy snow.
