Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the breadcrumbs and butter in a baking dish.
Bake, stirring occasionally, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown.

What each ingredient does
- Fine white breadcrumbs
- Form the main body of the dish and brown into a crisp, golden texture.
- Butter
- Coats the crumbs so they brown evenly and take on a rich flavor.
The step that matters
Stirring while baking. Stirring occasionally exposes the crumbs evenly to the oven heat, so they brown uniformly instead of scorching on the bottom while others stay pale.
