"You can substitute cornmeal for the polenta here if necessary; however, the texture of the muffin will be finer and more cakelike. Coarsely grated Parmesan adds a nice texture to these muffins and helps prevent the cheese from burning; to grate the cheese coarsely, use the large holes of a box grater. Do not substitute finely grated or pre-grated Parmesan...."
