Notes
Note 1: I use fresh breadcrumbs for this recipe (from French bread) however you can substitute dry breadcrumbs or panko.Recipe Variations: Feel free to add in minced jalepenos for heat or green or red peppers for color and texture. You can opt to add in minced celery for texture as well.Meal Prep: You can make these ahead of time, and store in an airtight container or in wrap in the fridge. Just keep in mind that when you go to cook them they will now be being cooked cold, so you may need a little lower hear and an additional few minutes of cooking time to warm them through.
