Tips:

For a crispy exterior, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
To make sure the muffins are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they're done.
If you don't have muffin tins, you can also use a mini loaf pan.
For a cheesy surprise, add a small piece of cheddar cheese to the center of each muffin before baking.
Serve the muffins with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mustard, or ranch dressing.
