About Parmesan crusted topping

Parmesan Crusted Topping is a savory blend of grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and a mix of seasonings such as garlic, parsley, and black pepper, often combined with olive oil or butter to achieve a crispy, golden crust. Originating from Italian cuisine, this topping is commonly used to enhance the flavor and texture of dishes like baked chicken, fish, or vegetables. Parmesan cheese adds a rich, nutty taste, while breadcrumbs provide crunch and structure. While flavorful, the topping is relatively high in sodium and saturated fats due to the cheese and butter. On the healthier side, Parmesan offers calcium and protein, and using whole-grain breadcrumbs or olive oil can boost its nutritional value. Moderation is key to enjoy its bold flavors as part of a balanced diet.
