Notes

The use of panko bread crumbs in this recipe is a game changer, providing an exceptional crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy filling. The airy texture of panko allows it to crisp up more effectively than regular breadcrumbs, creating a delightful textural balance that elevates the casserole.
