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).

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.
