Preparation
In a large skillet, heat butter at medium-high, sauté mushrooms, leek and thyme 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
In a heavy saucepan, bring milk to a boil at medium-high heat. Sprinkle cornmeal over and whisk in gradually. Reduce heat to medium low while continuing to stir with a wooden spoon for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, 1/3 cup (80 mL) Parmesan, dried tomatoes and mix well.
Spoon onto plate or divide into 3/4 (180 mL) ramekins. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan.
