Italian Bread Crumbs

Ingredients
Unseasoned Breadcrumbs
Parmesan Cheese
Garlic
Parsley
Salt and Pepper

Directions

1.Combine a 2:1 ratio of bread crumbs and finely grated parmesan cheese. So if you have 2 cups of crumbs add about1 cup of cheese…yes it’s a lot! The cheesier the better!
2.For every 2 cups of bread crumbs add about 3 garlic cloves- put through a press or very finely chopped
3.For every 2 cups of bread crumbs add about ½ a cup of finely chopped parsley
4.Add salt and pepper to taste

NOTE: These will be the best bread crumbs you have ever had. Save money, and don’t throw away your stale baguettes simply grate it into breadcrumbs. These breadcrumbs are used in so many of my recipes, such as: meatballs, chicken parmesan, cutlets, burgers etc. etc. Make a big batch of this and keep in a sealed container in the freezer, it keeps well for months. Also if you are buying plain bread crumbs, the best I’ve found is the No Name brand at superstore; other brands just seem to fine. You can also replace breadcrumbs with Panko.
