How to Make Buttered Breadcrumbs

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat.
Once the butter is melted and slightly foamy, add 1 cup of soft breadcrumbs.
Stir continuously until the breadcrumbs are evenly crisp and golden brown, about 3-6 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional), 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley (optional), 1 tablespoon toasted walnuts (optional), or your choice of other variations (toasted almonds, sesame seeds, etc.).
