Comforting and rich.
1. Bring the water to a bowl in a medium size pot. Season with salt.
2. Slowly whisk in the polenta, reduce heat to low, and simmer the polenta for about 30 minutes or until tender. Whisk every so often, scrapping stuck bits of polenta off the pot's bottom and sides.
3. When the polenta is nearly done, brown the butter in a medium size skillet. Fry both of the eggs to your liking in the brown butter, adding the garlic when the eggs have 1 minute left to cook.
4. Remove 2 tablespoons of the brown butter from the skillet and stir into the polenta, along with 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.
5. Scoop the polenta into two serving bowls, then top each bowl with a fried egg, half of the tomatoes, half of the remaining Parmesan and half of the parsley. Add black pepper, red pepper flakes and salt to taste. Enjoy!
You can salt the water before boiling if you wish. The butter and cheese are salty, so I prefer to leave this step out.
You'll probably have some extra cooked polenta. Scoop the leftover portion into an oiled loaf pan and refrigerate. You can slice the loaf and fry for another tasty dinner.
