Tip

Parmesan Pointers

When a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

Great quick recipe that the whole family loved. I made a few changes. First i used sea salt instead of regular salt, i substituted the butter flavored crackers with RITZ crackers and i also added some italian seasoning to the cracker mixture. I will definately be making this recipe again since there were no leftovers.

I liked this a lot. My boys, ages 5 and 3, both liked it as well. My husband is not a big fish person, so I usually make fish when he is away, but I think he will like this when I make it again. I added some pepper and minced onion to the batter and used whole wheat Ritz crackers. Served with homemade tartar sauce, oven-fried potatoes, and sauteed spinach and mushrooms. Good Friday night supper!

I read some of the previous suggestions and added some additional spices. As well, I didn't want to fry my fish so I baked it at 425* for 13 minutes. It was ok; I would probably not make it again.

This is a hit in my home! I added some Italian seasoning blend with the cracker mixture to give it some additional flavor. We found this recipe both simple and delicious.

The combination of crackers and Parmesan cheese make for a very tasty crust. This is our new "go-to" recipe for an easy-to-make, delicious dinner.

It was easy to make, but I found hte flavors a litle simple. It's nice and easy tasting, but nothing that says 'wow'.

We loved this with tilapia. I'm going to try it with cad tonight.

I think I was set up to fail, because I used the grated parmesan in the shaker, instead of grated parmesan. Regardless, I found the crust a bit bland. I would try this again, and next time I will use grated parmesan.
