A golden, buttery panko crumb that adds crunch to almost anything – salads, pasta, soups, tacos, veggies, seafood and even dips!
This is one of those little extras that makes a recipe feel special without adding much effort. A handful of panko breadcrumbs toasted with butter (or olive oil) and a pinch of salt, turns into a golden, crunchy topping that takes just minutes. I stir through a little parmesan at the end for extra flavour.
Once you’ve made Crispy Panko Breadcrumb Topping, you’ll find yourself sprinkling it on everything – over caesar salads, my Chicken Caesar Smash Tacos, pasta dishes, roasted veggies, soups, salads or even baked fish. It’s a fast, budget-friendly way to add crunch and flavour, and a great way to dress up weeknight meals.
Honestly, this little sprinkle works just about anywhere you want extra crunch and flavour. Some of my favourite ways to use it:
It’s one of those “finishing touches” that takes a good recipe and makes it feel great, with just a few extra minutes at the stove.
