  7. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  8. While baking, combine the fine dry breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted margarine in a small bowl.
  9. After 25 minutes, remove the ramekins from the oven and sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of each timbale.
