Transfer crumbs to large bowl and microwave, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, 4 to 8 minutes.

Why This Recipe Works
We used a hearty white sandwich bread like Arnold's Country Classic or Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse to make homemade bread crumbs in our Easy Stuffed Fillets of Sole. Store-bought bread crumbs weren’t worth buying. We combined the bread crumbs with mayonnaise, butter, chives, garlic, lemon zest and a bit of Dijon mustard to make a flavorful stuffing.
