Ingredients:

Serving

4 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking polenta
1 tsp salt
cooking spray
1 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup (2 oz) shredded gruyere cheese
1 cup boiling water
1/2 oz dried porcini mushrooms
1 tbsp butter
1/3 cup thinly sliced shallots
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper
1 cup sliced shiitake mushroom caps (about 3 1/2 oz)
1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms (about 3 1/2 oz)
1 tsp dry vermouth
1/2 tsp minced fresh thyme
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup (1 oz) shaved gruyere cheese

Directions:

To prepare polenta, bring 4 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Gradually add polenta and 1 teaspoon salt, stirring constantly with a whisk. Reduce heat to low; cook 3 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently. Spoon polenta into a 13 x 9–inch baking pan coated with cooking spray, spreading evenly. Press plastic wrap onto surface of polenta; chill 1 hour or until firm.
Preheat broiler.
Invert polenta onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Cut polenta into 36 rectangles (leave polenta on baking sheet). Broil 5 minutes. Turn polenta over. Brush polenta with 1 tablespoon butter. Broil 5 minutes. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheese evenly over rectangles; broil 5 minutes or until cheese melts.
To prepare topping, combine 1 cup boiling water and porcini mushrooms in a bowl; cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Drain; chop mushrooms.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallots to pan; cook 4 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Stir in red pepper; cook 30 seconds. Add porcini, shiitake, and cremini mushrooms; cook over medium-high heat 10 minutes or until liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. Stir in vermouth, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Spoon 1 teaspoon mushroom mixture on top of each polenta rectangle; top rectangles evenly with shaved cheese.
