You’ve been to the café and enjoyed avocado toast, right? Right. 

We take a favorite café staple, elevate it with great ingredients and turn it into a hearty breakfast, brunch, or lunch dish. This polenta breakfast stack is tasty, easy to prepare, and a meal that leaves you feeling ready to take on the day. 

Grilled polenta rounds serve as the base to hold all your favorite toppings: avocado, tomatoes, fresh basil, bacon, and a sunny-side-up egg. We like to think of it as breakfast perfection!

Ingredients

1 tube San Gennaro Traditional Polenta, sliced 3/4” - 1” thick
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 avocado, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
4 slices of bacon
4 eggs 
4 pieces of fresh basil, finely chopped
Salt, pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat a grill or large skillet to medium heat. 

Place polenta rounds on a platter. Brush olive oil onto each side of the polenta.

Place polenta slices on the grill or skillet for 8-10 minutes per side, and cook until nice and golden. 

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the bacon. Cook until the fat is rendered and the bacon is completely crispy. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper-towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease

In the same pan, add the eggs, cooking them over-easy or as desired.

Assemble your breakfast stack. Arrange 4 pieces of polenta on a plate. Top with sliced avocado, 2 pieces of bacon, sliced tomatoes, chopped basil, and two eggs. Season with salt & pepper.

Repeat assembly for one more plate. 

Serve immediately & enjoy.
