I like it! Added 1 teaspoon of onion powder and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the egg wash; no honey. I used equal amounts of panko and grated parmesan-1/2 cup of each. Added 1 teaspoon sea salt to the panko and parmesan mixture because my parmesan was not salty. We’ll see how the family likes it for an Easter appetizer!
made these for superbowl sunday. used a different dip. good stuff……….
