Toasted Bread Crumbs
- 1/2 cup finely ground fresh bread crumbs, preferably from pain de mie, brioche (crust removed), or another white bread that has a touch of butter in it
- 1 tablespoon finishing-quality extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350F.
- Spread the bread crumbs in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until theyre golden brown and crunchy, 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally for even cooking.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and cool the crumbs to room temperature.
- Gradually drizzle half of the olive oil over the bread crumbs and add the salt.
- Stir to combine and add more olive oil as needed so the bread crumbs are moist but are not so wet that they clump together.
- Use, or transfer the bread crumbs to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to three days.
