BUTTERED BREADCRUMBS
Buttered breadcrumbs can be used to top casseroles and au gratin dishes or as garnish for vegetables. For extra rich buttered breadcrumbs, double the amount of butter. This uses Soft Breadcrumbs which I posted separately. Variations: Add to taste grated parmesan cheese, minced parsley, minced toasted walnuts, toasted almonds or toasted sesame seeds.

This is our all-purpose recipe for breadcrumbs. We have used these to coat chicken and pork chops. We also use them in any savory recipe that calls for breadcrumbs. My fiance and I work this recipe together. I gather the spices and he operates the hand processor.

Steps:
- Pulse the bread in a food processor until they are crumbs.
- Add in the spices and either mix by hand or give another pulse in the processor.
- Notes: We use a hand processor and stop when we get to coarse crumbs.
- We add the spices straight to the processor and get the crumbs down to a slightly less coarse grind. We still don't go down to a fine grind though.
- We have found that when coating chicken or pork chops that the coarser grind makes for a really neat crunch.

Steps:
- There is a real advantage to making bread crumbs instead of using pre-packaged ones, with their unpleasant preserved taste. Full tasting bread, like a sourdough or herbed bread makes for delicious crumbs. When made from fresh bread the crumbs absorb less fat or liquid than a dry crumb, making them ideal for topping off gratins, or breading meat and fish when frying. Dry crumbs are better suited for stuffings since they absorb moisture just like a sponge. Most breads can be turned into bread crumbs by simply grinding them in a food processor. Trimming crusts makes for a more delicate crumb and for very fine crumbs, strain them through a fine-mesh sieve. Store bread crumbs in a tightly sealed plastic bag in the freezer.
Tips:
- Use a food processor or blender to quickly and easily make bread crumbs from stale bread.
- Season the bread crumbs with your favorite herbs and spices to create a flavorful coating for fried or baked foods.
- Add grated Parmesan cheese, chopped nuts, or other ingredients to the bread crumbs for a more complex flavor and texture.
- Use seasoned bread crumbs to coat chicken, fish, or vegetables before frying or baking.
- Store seasoned bread crumbs in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Seasoned bread crumbs are a versatile and flavorful ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a great way to add flavor and texture to fried or baked foods, and they can also be used as a topping for casseroles or salads. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own seasoned bread crumbs at home.
