Directions

Heat the oven to 350°F.  While the oven is heating, spray 24 mini muffin-pan cups with vegetable cooking spray and coat with the bread crumbs (shake off and discard any excess bread crumbs).

Heat the broth in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil.  Gradually add the polenta, whisking constantly.  Cook and whisk for 10 minutes or until the mixture is very thick.  Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the mascarpone.  Season to taste.

Spoon about 1 tablespoon polenta mixture into each mini muffin-pan cup.  Smooth the tops of the polenta mixture.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the cakes are set.  Let the cakes cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.  Serve hot or warm, sprinkled with the Parmesan cheese.
