5. Trim 1/4 inch from all sides of polenta. Cut into 48 squares. Preheat broiler with rack 5 inches from heat. Lightly brush a metal baking pan with oil. Heat under broiler 30 seconds. In batches, broil squares in pan, 2 minutes. Place cheese on each square, season with pepper. Broil until cheese is melted, about 1 1/2 minutes. Garnish with herb sprigs.
