PREPARATION

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the milk to boiling point then add the butter, salt and nutmeg.
  2. Sprinkle in the semolina and whisk over medium heat until the mixture thickens considerably.
  3. Take off the heat then stir in a spoonful of Grana Padano Cheese Pearls and the egg yolks. Pour the mixture onto a sheet of baking paper and form a loaf, which you need to leave to cool to room temperature.
  4. Once cooled, cut the semolina loaf into discs about 1.5 cm thick. Arrange them on a baking tray then top with flakes of butter, plenty of Grana Padano Cheese Pearls and fresh sage.
  5. Bake for about 15 minutes in a static oven at 210° C then switch to grill mode for the last 5 minutes.
  6. Serve hot with a generous amount of freshly-ground black pepper.
