Caesar Salad Schnitzels Recipe

Method

1. Breadcrumbs

   1. Step 1

      To make fresh breadcrumbs, tear your leftover bread into chunks and pop them into a food processor with a metal blade

   2. Step 2

      It’s best to only fill the food processor half-way to give the bread room to move, so you may need to do a couple of batches if you want to make a large amount of breadcrumbs

   3. Step 3

      Then pulse until you reach your desired consistency

   4. Step 4

      If you prefer a crunchier texture for your breadcrumbs, you can dry your bread out first by placing it in the oven or a toaster before putting it in the food processor
