  • Total Time: 6 min
  • Yield: 1 Cup 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. This should take about 30-60 seconds on high, but check every 15 seconds to prevent it from overheating.
  2. Add the Panko breadcrumbs to the melted butter. Stir until the breadcrumbs are well-coated.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of the bowl.
  4. Microwave the breadcrumbs on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir.
  5. Repeat this process, microwaving in 1-minute increments and stirring afterward, until the breadcrumbs reach a golden brown color. This may take 3-5 minutes in total, depending on your microwave.
  6. Be sure to keep a close eye on the breadcrumbs, as they can burn quickly.

Notes

  • Always watch the breadcrumbs closely to prevent burning.
  • Let the breadcrumbs cool completely before using or storing
