Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups water
1 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh sage
1 tbsp olive oil

2 bay leaves
6 whole cloves
6 allspice berries
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup crumbled gorgonzola or 1 cup other blue cheese
salt and pepper

For polenta: Butter 9 X 13 inch baking dish.

For sauce: bring milk, bay leaves, cloves and allspice to boil in medium saucepan.
Reduce heat to low.
Simmer 10 minutes.
Melt butter in another medium saucepan over moderate heat.
Add flour.
Whisk until smooth and bubbling (do not brown), about 2 minutes.
Strain milk mixture into flour mixture, whisking until smooth; add gorgonzola and whisk into sauce until melted.
Cook until thick, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes.
Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg (can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter 9 X 13 inch baking dish.
Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce on the bottom.
Cut polenta into 2 inch squares that are 1/4 inch thick.
Cut each square in half horizontally.
Place squares in baking dish, overlapping edges slightly.
