Preparation
Step 1
Combine the milk, chives, garlic, salt, and paprika in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. While whisking, slowly sprinkle in the polenta. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the polenta has thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the Parmesan and butter; stir until combined. Spread the polenta evenly in an 8 1/2-inch springform pan; let rest until completely set, about 45 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2
Preheat the broiler. Remove the outer ring from the springform pan. Cut the polenta into 8 wedges. Coat wedges with olive oil spray, and place on a rack in the oven several inches underneath the broiler. Broil the polenta until golden brown on top and heated through, about 8 minutes. Serve.
