Portabella Mushrooms with Polenta

Ingredients:
1 cup Polenta,2 cups chicken stock, evaporated milk, parmesan cheese, minced sage, eggs, plum tomato

Directions:
You will need to prepare the mushrooms and the souffle like polenta mixture at the same time. First, start the polenta: In a large saucepan, blend 1 cup polenta, 2 cups chicken stock, 1 cup water and 1/2 cup evaporated milk. Stir over high heat until mixture boils, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons minced sage, and salt and pepper to taste. While polenta cooks, beat 4 large egg whites until soft peaks form. Remove polenta from the heat and stir in 2 egg yolks and about a third of the egg whites. Then fold in remaining egg whites. Meanwhile, rinse six portabella mushrooms, about 1 1/2 inches wide, remove stems and pat dry. Rub tops lightly with olive oil and lay caps down on a 10"x15" pan. Broil 4-6 inches from the heat until they begin to ooze juice. Then turn over and broil for a total of 8 - 10 minutes. Rinse and core a plum tomato and slice into paper thin slices. Lightly oil a 9"x13" casserole. Arrange mushrooms, gills up in a single layer, then pour mushrooms juices around the caps. Spread the polenta mixture over the mushrooms, then arrange the tomato slices on top. Bake in a 375 degree oven until well browned at the edges and lightly browned on top, about 40 minutes. Cut into servings and transfer to plates with a wide spatula.
