4 SERVINGS

- 1/2 cup fresh thyme (coarsely chopped)
- 2 cups polenta
- 8 cups water (depending on how thick you like your polenta)
- 1/2 cup hard cheese (shredded, Parmesan or Grueyere are both great for this)

Directions
- for the pesto: Mix olives and fresh herbs in a medium-sized bowl. Stir in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix until homogenous. Set aside.
- for the polenta: Heat water in a large pot, when boiling, slowly pour in polenta. Lower the temperature to simmer and cook for about 20-25 minutes, until polenta has absorbed the water. Take pot off flame and stir in shredded cheese and salt. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside until plating.
- for the poached eggs: Crack eggs into a small bowl, set aside. Heat another medium-sized pot with water, adding a sprinkle of salt and teaspoon of vinegar to water. When water is at a boil, slip the four eggs into the water bath, swirling with a spoon to help eggs form into solid shapes. Cook for about four minutes for a slightly runny center. Here's a great tutorial on The Kitchn, in case you need more help poaching the eggs.
- to assemble the dish: ladle about 1 1/2 cups of the polenta into a large bowl, add an egg to each bowl, garnish with the olive-herb pesto. Serve with extra olive oil and lots of salt and pepper.
