About Parmesan crust

Parmesan Crust is a flavorful topping made primarily from grated Parmesan cheese, often combined with breadcrumbs, butter, and seasonings such as garlic, herbs, or black pepper. This crispy layer is a popular addition in Italian-inspired dishes, commonly baked over chicken, fish, or vegetables to create a rich, savory coating. Originating from the tradition of using Parmesan in Italian cuisine, the crust delivers a bold umami flavor and a satisfying crunch. While Parmesan Crust offers protein and calcium from the cheese, its inclusion of butter and breadcrumbs increases calorie and fat content, making portion control important for a balanced diet. The herbs and spices used in its preparation bring additional antioxidants and flavor without added calories. For those seeking lighter options, modifications like using whole-grain breadcrumbs or reducing butter can enhance its nutritional profile while maintaining its delicious appeal.
