6. Add Topping: In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole. Finally, add the grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.
7. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
