preheat oven to 350

if baking immediately sprinkle with the bread crumbs, cover and bake for 15 minutes
switch oven to broil, remove the foil and broil for 5 minutes or until the crumbs are browned

if not baking immediately do NOT sprinkle with bread crumbs but cover and refrigerate until ready to use--let come to room temperature, uncover and sprinkle with crumbs, return the foil cover and bake as directed
