Cheesy polenta chippies

I love cheese.  This is something I have never made any secret of.  I have even made it myself in varying forms.  Polenta however is a polarising beast.  Some people love it.  Some people hate it. Mr Kidgredients hates it.  But I may have convinced him with these.  How?  Well, it's all about the cheese.

Before I started my blog I had a disastrous polenta chippie moment.  They were greasy and soggy and an utterly unpleasant experience.  But these ones- they are awesome.

More awesome than potato chips!

1 cup dry polenta

2 tbsps fresh thyme
1/2 cup of cheese, grated

Method
Bring the water to the boil in a saucepan.
Whisk the water with a whisk and add the polenta slowly, whisking continuosly.
When the polenta starts to thicken, add the butter, and milk.
Remove from the heat and stir through the thyme and 3/4 cup of cheese.
Line a 20X30 cm baking dish with baking paper or silpat liners.
Pour the polenta mix in and flatten the top of it.
Refrigerate for an hour or until firm.
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.
