Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbs, also known as rusk, are made from dried, ground bread. They have a neutral, slightly cereal taste and a crispy texture. Commonly used for coating meat, fish, or vegetables to create a golden-brown crust, they also serve as a binder in meatballs or as a topping for casseroles.
Breadcrumbs are widely used as a coating, often combined with plain flour and eggs, as seen in "Asparagus Cordon Bleu" or "Broccoli Patties". They also provide a crispy topping for casseroles like "Salmon and Savoy Cabbage Casserole" or "Macaroni Cheese Casserole", often enriched with butter. In dishes such as "Courgette Fritters" or "Spinach Arancini", they contribute to binding and texture. Salt and ground black pepper are common seasonings.
