Buttered Breadcrumbs

Submitted by Debbwl

"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."

I served these over cauliflower the other night. It's a tasty and quick dress-up, not to mention economical. Made for Zaar Stars Tag.

This turned out nice and crispy and buttery! I will enjoy this! Thanks! Made for Vegetarian Swap-Feb. 2010.

Tastes just like the buttered ritz crackers I use on lots of my casseroles. I can make this more economically and easier, so I'll definitely use this again. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!

Made them for DD for breakfast with fusili and toasted walnuts and Recipe #297272. And of course with your soft breadcrumbs. I see that everyone else used them for savory dishes,but they're great on sweet ones too.

Very easy and really added some crunch to the dish. I used this with Recipe#394230. It's worth adding these late in the cooking stage as it looked like they could get overdone more quickly then regular breadcrumbs- having already been cooked! Will definitely use this recipe again!
