Time 2h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup plain dried bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons whole milk
1/2 cup grated Romano
1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
