How to make Bread Crumbs

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: stale bread

Whole grain bread offers more fiber and nutrients.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and adds flavor.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: none

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy.

Slice or cube the bread that has been in the house for about 2-5 days.

Pan fry the bread until it is golden brown, touching it from time to time to ensure it is crisp.

If using fresh bread, continue frying until it is crisp.

Transfer the crispy bread to a food processor and pulse until you achieve the desired crumb size.

For binding, add the bread crumbs to a bowl and crack in 1 egg, then mix together until it can form a ball.

Heat oil in a pan until hot, then drop the mixture into the oil to fry.

Once cooked, transfer the chicken balls to a plate.
