Turn the oven to 200 degrees and grease a pan with a falling bottom with olive oil.

Pour the broth into a saucepan and add 1 teaspoon of water, place on the stove and turn it to medium. When it starts to simmer, pour the polenta gradually, stirring constantly to absorb. Cook for 10-12 minutes until the consistency is thicker, be sure to stir occasionally.

Add the parmesan and thyme, wait a few more minutes for the cheese to melt and all the products to combine until smooth.

Pour into the prepared pan, flatten and bake for 20 minutes to give the polenta a golden color.
