Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil12 ounces sliced mixed wild mushrooms (5 cups)1 large shallot, minced1/2 teaspoon thyme Pinch of freshly grated nutmegSalt and freshly ground pepper1 tablespoon unsalted butter1 tablespoon all-purpose flour3/4 cup chicken stock or low-sodium broth1/2 cup skim milkOne 18-ounce log of prepared polenta, cut into 1/4-inch slicesPart-skim mozzerella
1. Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the mushrooms and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Add the shallot and cook over moderately low heat for 3 minutes. Add the thyme and nutmeg and cook over high heat, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a baking dish.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour over moderately high heat. Add the stock and cream and whisk until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper and pour over the mushrooms. Arrange the polenta slices on top of the mushrooms in overlapping concentric circles, pressing to submerge the polenta slightly. Sprinkle the mozzerella on the polenta, cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
3. Preheat the broiler. Uncover the polenta and broil 6 inches from the heat for about 2 minutes, or until golden. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
