Easy Polenta Pizza Appetizer Bakes

While at the supermarket shopping for necessary ingredients such as milk and eggs to brace the second snow storm in a week, I stumbled upon polenta. It's been a while since I ate this delicious treat, so I was compelled to pick it up and create something I believe polenta tastes great as: pizza.

Polenta can be used in place of starches like rice and potatoes, so why can't it be used to replace another important food group like pizza. OK, so it's not a food group, it's just tasty and can showcase your creativity using other food group items anywhere from pepperoni to pineapples.

I decided to pair not my ordinary pizza toppings for this polenta pizza appetizer, something a bit fancier than your average sausage crumbles. I simply enjoy the saltiness of anchovies and cheese when paired with the complexity of olives and rosemary. I hope you enjoy.
