- Place saltines in a large ziptop bag and crush with your hands or a rolling pin to fine dust.
- Mix the crushed saltines, milk, and eggs in a large bowl into a paste and let sit for 4-5 minutes to combine.
- In a large bowl, mix all remaining ingredients (except the mozzarella cheese and basil), together with the cracker past. Mix thoroughly.
