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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality bread for the best flavor and texture.
  • Allow the bread to dry out slightly before making the breadcrumbs. This will help them to toast more evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Toast the breadcrumbs in a single layer in a preheated oven. This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from steaming.
  • Stir the breadcrumbs frequently while toasting. This will help them to toast evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Use unsalted butter to make the buttered breadcrumbs. This will allow you to control the amount of salt in the final product.
  • Add the butter to the breadcrumbs while they are still warm. This will help the butter to melt and coat the breadcrumbs evenly.
  • Season the buttered breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Store the buttered breadcrumbs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Homemade buttered breadcrumbs are a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a great way to add flavor and texture to casseroles, baked dishes, and stuffings. They can also be used as a topping for salads, soups, and pastas. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make delicious homemade buttered breadcrumbs that will elevate your favorite dishes.
