Hi. Having just come back from the supermarket, I've found I don't have breadcrumbs in the cupboard. What could be a substitute! I have soft breadcrumbs, water crackers, chippies, rolled oats etc! Any good substitutes there! I've used crushed water crackers in the past, but mixed them with breadcrumbs. TIA

I prefer fresh bread crumbs, much yummier.Just make sure your cooking oil is the right temp or the crumbs will soak up too much oil. Or you can toast the bread first.

make sure you crumb in advance and have it in the fridge for a few hours before you cook!

Haha! It was on special at Pak n Save here. I've spoilt my children and they now expect ham and cheese in their schnitzel every time I make it.

When I boarded with a family back in the 1960, I was introduced to Schnitzel and the mum used to use fresh breadcrumbs and some kind of garlic powder. It was delicious.

I use Molenberg (sp) bread and put (according to your taste) Maggi chicken stock in it. Yummo!

About 5.30 - you'll have to fight with my kids over the biggest pieces though ;)

That's what I call it too when the kids ask what's for dinner :)

It was very yummy with the fresh breadcrumbs. Think that will be my usual way of preparing it now :) Thanks

Ive never really liked schnitzel. I always turns out like cardboard for me. What is the ham and cheese one, do you roll it with ham and cheese in it !

jubre, I'm no gourmet cook, so I just put a couple of small pieces of ham and a slice of cheese in between two pieces of schnitzel (or one folded in half). Seal with a little water on my finger, and then egg and crumb them :)

jubre, schnitzel prepared as carlos57 has advised is usually known as Schnitzel Cordon Bleu which you may have already heard of but just not realised what it actually was/is.:-))

I don't use any breadcrumbs when doing schnitzel, just flour preferably wholegrain and the milk-egg mixture. Sometimes will add a wee bit of spice or a special seasoning mixed in the normal flour. I also flour them first then into egg mixture then flour again, this last one preferably wholegrain.
