Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat oven to 350°F. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 4- to 5-quart saucepot over medium heat. Add shallots; cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add broth and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Slowly whisk in cornmeal and ½ teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low; simmer 4 minutes, whisking often to prevent lumps.
-
Step 2.
Transfer the polenta to a 3-quart baking dish; cover tightly with foil. Bake 45 to 50 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until grains are tender and polenta has thickened. Remove and discard foil.
-
Step 3.
While the polenta bakes, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, garlic, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have softened and released their liquid. Stir in diced tomatoes; cook 1 minute. Spoon the mushroom mixture evenly over the cooked polenta.
-
Step 4.
Crack eggs and gently nestle them into the mushroom mixture, spacing evenly. Top each egg with a pinch of salt and pepper, then sprinkle Parmesan over the entire dish. Bake 20 minutes or until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny. Garnish with chopped parsley.
