  1. Bring water and salt to a boil in a saucepan, slowly stir in corn meal. Reduce heat to medium-low, cook and stir until corn meal absorbs all the water, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in 2 tablespoons butter, sage, and rosemary. Add Gouda cheese, stir to incorporate.

  2. Pour polenta into a pie plate. Refrigerate until solid and chilled, about 1 hour. Cut polenta into wedges or squares.

  3. Heat 2 teaspoons butter in a skillet over medium heat, cook polenta pieces until crispy and warmed through, about 5 minutes per side.
