Breadcrumbs are a staple all their own, adding crunch and thickness to everything from chicken cutlets to soups and sauces. Our approach is simpler than most, but what makes it special is the absence of crust and the addition of olive oil. The result: a texture that’s both light and satisfying.NOTE: The oil or fat you use will determine the finished texture of the breadcrumbs. Butter will yield a greasier result if the crumbs are served cold, but any oil or fat—including butter—should work if you’re serving them hot.
