Bread crumbs replacement please

Rowief · 02-03-2013, 03:28 PM

I'd like to make zucchini fritters and a spinach/parm casserole that require bread crumbs. Will Flax seed work? Thank you

You can use pork rinds...ground in a food processor. That's what I use in place of bread crumbs for every recipe.

Mix some finely grated parmesan or romano in with the pork rinds.

I save all leftover low-carb breads/muffins/biscuits, crumb them up and put in the freezer in a plastic bag for casseroles and such.

Grated parmesan cheese. I use this when I make eggplant parmesan. I dip the egg plant pieces into beaten egg seasoned with some salt & pepper and then I dip it in grated parmesan that I've seasoned with garlic powder, oregano, italian seasoning, parsley and some basil. I fry it up in some extra virgin olive oil and its delish! No one knows the difference, they think its bread crumbs. I've done boneless chicken breast the same way and its wonderful.

OMG Jersey Girl your suggestion is "right up my alley." As an Italian originally from Philly, I often think of my Mother's eggplant and how our family loved it. Going to give it a try. Many thanks

I'm an Italian from NJ and eggplant parmesan is my favorite food. I don't make it very often because it is a lot of work but, when I do make it, this is the way I make it and if I do say so myself, it is truly delicious! Even my Italian Dad enjoys it!!!
