Important Notes
Mixing traditional bread crumbs with panko provides the optimal balance of crunch and coverage.
Butter added during pan-frying infuses the crust with a rich, nutty aroma.
Stirring raw diced tomatoes into the warm cooked sauce right before assembly preserves their fresh acidity and texture.
Using a reliable non-stick pan for the mozzarella ensures the cheese slides off cleanly in one beautiful piece.
