For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of melted butter. Add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of white pepper for extra warmth and complexity. If you don't have sherry, you can substitute with dry white wine or chicken broth. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread crumbs or crushed nuts.
