Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to maintain crispiness. You can prep the breadcrumb mixture ahead of time and store it in a sealed jar for convenience. Don’t skip the pat-dry step to ensure the crust remains crispy!
