- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup milk

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Dredge each roll in flour mixed with salt and pepper, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear each roll until golden brown (2–3 minutes per side).
