- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 2 pieces eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

- Add seasonings to the sauce, then stir in fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or paprika to the breadcrumb mixture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
