Instructions

  1. Bring the water and milk to a boil with the salt in a heavy saucepan.
  2. Pour in the cornmeal in a steady stream while whisking to avoid lumps.
  3. Lower the heat and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring regularly, until you have a thick porridge that pulls away from the sides.
  4. Off the heat, stir in the butter and crème fraîche for a creamy texture.
  5. Pour into bowls and crumble the fresh cheese on top.
  6. Serve straight away, lukewarm, with a little sugar if you like it sweet.

Variations and tips

Sweet version. Add sugar and cinnamon when serving, like a sweet milk cornmeal porridge.
