Ingredients
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Add cold butter cubes. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
Spread the crumble mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
Let cool completely on the baking sheet. Use immediately or store in an airtight container.
Tips
For extra flavor, add 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped herbs like thyme or rosemary.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Sprinkle over casserole before baking, or use as a garnish after baking for extra crunch.
