Instructions

Step 1

In large frypan combine water, oil/butter, cornmeal, onions, and firmer vegetables, if using them, and cheese if it's a slow melter. Simmer until hot and cornmeal is cooked (it won’t be hard or crunchy). Add more water if you need it to keep pan from drying. Then add softer veggies, cheese if using a quick-melting cheese, meat, spices and egg. Mix thoroughly. Cook until egg is thoroughly cooked and cheese is melted. Serve hot.
