These turned out perfectly. I was a little skeptical of thee temperature and length of cooking time but it was perfect. Only thing I did differently was to add a clove of garlic when I made the bread crumbs and to sprinkle some chopped hard boiled egg on the top right before serving.

Was very tasty, but thought there was too much bread crumb mixture. Will half the bread crumbs next time. Didn't use the lemon. Perfectly cooked!
