Introduction
This is just how I make mine. I use light marble cheese in the place of parmasan. You could also substitute the bread crumbs for Panko, for an even crispier version, but it may require more egg. The milk can be removed but it really adds to the flavour of the sauce. This dish is just as good without the cheese. This is just how I make mine. I use light marble cheese in the place of parmasan.
