Preparation steps
In a saucepan, heat a little olive oil, add cornmeal and stir briefly to coat. Then pour the broth, bring to a boil, season with salt, cover and cook for about 25 minutes over low heat. Remove from heat and allow to cool. The polenta should be rather firm when cooled.
Peel the onions and cut into fine strips.
Sauté onions in a skillet with oil until golden. Season with salt, pepper and dried marjoram.
Place eggs in a bowl and stir until foamy.
Mix cooled polenta with the beaten eggs until frothy and stir in half of the Parmesan. Season with pepper and nutmeg and spread some of the polenta 1 cm (approximately 1/2 inch) thick on a cake pan lined with parchment paper. Spread the onions on top and cover with a 1 cm (approximately 1/2 inch) layer of polenta.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (approximately 400°F) for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with a little grated Parmesan cheese and broil until golden under the oven broiler, watching carefully. Serve with roasted meats or with spinach sauce, if desired.
