Notes
1.Breadcrumbs - I don't use fancy equipment to make my own breadcrumbs. I just roughly chop stale sandwich bread, then use my fingers to crumble them. I like it chunky - more texture!2. Instead of parmesan, you could add 1/4 tsp of salt and 1 crushed garlic clove - this will make it healthier (and vegan).3. Nutrition per serving.
