Reduce heat to medium and cook until mixture is very thick, whisking frequently, about 15 minutes. Whisk in 1 tablespoon oil.
Preheat broiler. Coat bottom and sides of 8x8x2-inch baking pan with remaining ½ tablespoon oil. Spread polenta evenly in prepared pan.
Sprinkle ground pepper over. Top with prosciutto slices, layering evenly. Arrange fresh sage atop prosciutto, if desired. Cover with cheese. Broil polenta about 6 inches from heat source until cheese bubbles and is golden, watching closely to avoid burning, about 3 minutes.
