Bring the water, milk, and salt to a boil in a wide pot.
Pour in the cornmeal in a thin stream, whisking constantly so it does not clump.
Cook the polenta over low heat for 35 to 38 minutes, stirring without letting the bottom catch.
Grate the Gruyere and kashar cheeses.
Add the butter, Gruyere, and kashar to the hot polenta.
Stir for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheeses melt, loosening with a little hot water if the texture becomes too thick.
Finish the polenta concia with black pepper and divide into hot bowls.
💡 Tip: If fontina is hard to find in Turkey, use a mixture of well-melting Gruyere and a little kashar; the cheese flavor stays strong and the texture remains creamy.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve polenta concia hot in bowls as a main dish, with sauteed mushrooms or arugula salad if desired.
