Casserole Crunch Topping Recipe

American · Condiment · 15 min total

A buttery, crispy topping that adds a delightful crunch to any casserole, from mac and cheese to green bean casserole.

Ingredients

• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
3. Spread the mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
5. Remove from oven and let cool completely. The topping will continue to crisp as it cools.
6. Sprinkle over casserole before serving, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley or chives after baking.
• This topping can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; re-crisp in a 350°F oven for 3-5 minutes before using.
• Substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
