How To Make zucchini bacon polenta stack
-
1Gather and prep ingredients.
-
2Melt butter in small nonstick skillet over medium heat.
-
3Add polenta and zucchini slices; lightly sprinkle with seasoned salt; fry over medium heat until just beginning to lightly brown on all sides.
-
4Remove polenta to warm plate; arrange zucchini on top of polenta; sprinkle with a pinch of cheese.
-
5Place bacon in skillet to reheat for several seconds, then arrange over zucchini; sprinkle with a pinch of cheese.
-
6Break egg into skillet, adding a bit more butter if needed. Fry over medium heat for about 2 minutes (until egg white is mostly cooked,) then turn egg over to cook for another 15 to 30 seconds (depends on how well done you prefer your egg, but "over easy" is best in my opinion.)
-
7Place fried egg on top of stack; sprinkle with a pinch of cheese, chives and some bacon bits (if available.) Garnish as desired; serve immediately.
-
8**NOTE: Rolls of polenta may be found in the grocer's refrigerator case or on the shelf close to the pasta. Two or three servings can be made at the same time if you use a larger skillet.
