Creative uses for panko?
I came into possession of a really big bag of panko. I rarely fry or make breaded foods. Can you think of other dishes that call for panko or innovative ways to use it?

i sometimes oil my casserole dish and then let panko stick to it before i put my mac and cheese ingredients in. it makes all sides of the mac and cheese crunchy.

What a good idea. This thread has me craving and making mac & cheese for dinner. I'm going to do this with my panko.

Toasted in oil or butter, panko makes an awesome topping for Mac and cheese.

A good way to use Panko - make pangrattatto, "poor man's parmigiana," for pasta: http://www.nytimes.com... Very tasty.

Make savory or sweet version of bread pudding (use panko instead of bread cubes);
Use panko to line baking pans for cakes and souffle pans for souffles;
Make dumplings for soup (use panko instead of matzo meal to make Japanese matzo balls);
Mix with some sliced or crushed nuts, a few chopped herbs & a bit of oil or butter to coat fish fillets before baking them;
Mix with cornmeal to make a version of cornbread.
If none appeal, and the bag is intact, take to your local food bank collection point.

Also, you could make a lot of gratins, casseroles, etc. and top with the bread crumbs.

I love crisping them in olive oil with garlic and using them as a crunchy topping for roasted vegetables. I sometimes will add lemon zest and parsley for a play on gremolata.
