- Bring the water to the boil in a large pan and salt it.
- With the water boiling hard, sprinkle in the cornmeal in a thin stream, stirring constantly.
- Turn the heat down low and cook covered for 25-30 minutes, stirring often, until it thickens and comes away from the sides of the pan.
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C and butter an ovenproof dish.
- Layer the hot polenta in the dish: a layer of polenta, drizzled with melted butter, then sprinkled with grated cheese.
- Repeat the layers until the dish is full, sprinkling the top generously with cheese too.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is nicely golden.
- Serve hot in the dish.
