Method
1.
Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan, add salt, and gradually whisk in polenta. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until polenta is thick and creamy, about 30 minutes.
2.
Pour polenta into a greased, lined baking tray and smooth into a uniform thickness. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until set.
3.
While the polenta is setting, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and sprinkle with sugar, cooking until onions are deeply caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
4.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Using a round cookie cutter, cut the set polenta into circles and place them on a baking sheet. Top each round with caramelized onions and a sprinkle of blue cheese.
5.
Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6.
Garnish with fresh thyme and serve warm.
