Notes
- If Worcestershire sauce is unavailable, substitute with soy sauce or tamari to maintain umami flavor.
- Panko breadcrumbs or Italian-style breadcrumbs both work well; for gluten-free, almond meal is a suitable alternative.
- Unsweetened non-dairy milk substitutes can replace almond milk if needed.
- Italian seasoning can be recreated by mixing dried rosemary, thyme, oregano, and basil.
