Notes
Here are some extra tips that made my meal even better:
Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
Add a dash of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick!
If you prefer, you can deep fry instead of baking for a crispier texture.
Serve with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
These little tips can really elevate the dish!
