Prepare the seasoned breadcrumb layer. Cut two sheets of plastic wrap, each at least 8” (width) x 6” (length). Place one sheet of plastic wrap onto a cutting board. Place half the amount of seasoned breadcrumbs from step 4 and cover with the other plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin, roll out the breadcrumbs to form a 7” (width) x 5” (length) rectangle. Remove the plastic wrap cover.
