Polenta Fritters with Asparagus & Eggs

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 6 ounces polenta in tube, cut into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices
• 6 asparagus spears, trimmed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
• Black pepper, to taste

Preparation

1. 1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add polenta and asparagus; cook 8 minutes, turning once.
2. 2. Push polenta and asparagus to side of pan. Recoat pan with cooking spray. Add eggs, and fry until yolks are set, about 3 minutes.
3. 3. Serve eggs on warm polenta with asparagus on the side. Sprinkle with cheese and black pepper.
4. Carb Star: Polenta
5. 1 gram of Resistant Starch per 1/2 cup cooked
6. This soft, creamy grain is made from cooked cornmeal. Naturally high in Resistant Starch, polenta is also rich in fiber and contains a decent amount of protein, too. And it's versatile. It can be cooked into a creamy consistency or baked into crunchy sticks. In fact, you can even use it instead of white bread to make croutons.
