Changes and Hints
A pinch of crushed red pepper, when added to the bread crumb mixture, gives it a little more bite. You may add a distinct and lovely herb flavor by omitting the parsley and adding some chopped fresh basil or dill. Shredded Gruyère, when combined with Parmesan, adds a wonderful depth of flavor—perfect for cheese addicts.
Enjoy!
