1/4 tsp Black pepper

Instructions


1. Preheat oven to 400º F (200º C). Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or tin foil. If using tin foil, grease with a non-stick cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl mix together bread crumbs, wheat germ, dried oregano, parmesan cheese, pepper and paprika.

3. In a second bowl whisk eggs and milk together.
