Mămăliga Baked (polenta)

Romanian Mămăliga baked is a substitute for bread. It is the national dish of Romania and used to be considered a peasant food however today you will find it on nearly every menu in the finest establishments. This dish is made with eggs and cheese and a coarse cornmeal. I baked the dish but it is often cooked on the stove top like polenta. It goes beautifully with soups and stews. We enjoyed it thoroughly alongside our Romanian meatball soup.
