Can you freeze this?? I am supposed to make it for a party that will more than likely be cancelled due to illness!

Hey there! I haven't tried freezing it, but my gut says that you should be able to. The texture of the breadcrumbs may get a little soggy, but I think it should be fine. Fingers crossed that everyone stays healthy and the party goes off without a hitch!
