Ingredients list
- 250 g durum wheat semolina
- 1 l milk
- 100 g butter
- 2 egg yolk
- 100 g parmesan cheese grated
- 50 g pecorino cheese grated
- 5 g salt
- 1 pinch nutmeg
Directions
- Put the milk, about ⅓ of the butter, salt and a pinch of nutmeg in a frying pan and heat. Once the milk boils, add the semolina, stirring constantly with a whisk. Make sure that there are no lumps.
- Simmer over low heat for a few minutes until the mixture is well thickened. Remove the frying pan from the heat, add the egg yolk and Parmigiano Reggiano and mix well.
- Divide the resulting dough and place the halves on two baking papers. With the help of the baking paper, form rolls about 5cm/2in thick. Then place in the refrigerator to harden for about 20 minutes.
- Then cut out slices about 1cm/0.4in thick from the two dough rolls.
- Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan. Grease a baking dish with some of the melted butter. Layer the slices in it and pour the remaining melted butter over them.
- Sprinkle with grated pecorino and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C/390°F for about 20 to 25 minutes. Once a nice golden brown crust is formed, remove from the oven and serve hot.Buon appetito!
