Crumble Topping for Casseroles Recipe

American · Condiment · 15 min total

A buttery, crunchy topping that adds texture and flavor to casseroles, pot pies, and baked pasta dishes. Easy to make and customize with herbs or cheese.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, panko, Parmesan (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Add cold butter cubes. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces.
4. Spread the crumble mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden brown and fragrant.
6. Let cool completely on the baking sheet. Use immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips

• For a herby version, add 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or thyme with the dry ingredients.
• Substitute panko with crushed crackers or cornflakes for a different texture.
• Sprinkle over casseroles before the last 10 minutes of baking to keep the topping crunchy.
