    1. Barbecue sauce could work! Or if you prefer a different kind of mustard- I don’t like regular yellow mustard but I do like the fancier ground mustards.

    1. Joanna, you could leave off the ‘crusted’ part completely or you could use parmesan as a crust if you still want something to coat it. Hope that helps!
