Breadcrumb Selection
Use good quality breadcrumbs, or even panko breadcrumbs, for a crispier crust. Season them well with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian herbs.
Tomato Sauce Quality
Opt for a high-quality tomato sauce or make your own from scratch using fresh tomatoes, garlic, and herbs. Simmering the sauce for a longer period will deepen its flavor.
Cheese Choice
Mozzarella is the most common choice, but other cheeses like provolone or Parmesan can be added for extra flavor.
Preventing Soggy Breading
Ensure the meat is completely dry before breading to prevent the breading from becoming soggy. You can also briefly pan-fry the breaded meat before adding the sauce and cheese to help maintain its crispness.
