Crumbs - Blend all the ingredients in a food processor, then tip onto a large plate. Lift the nibbles out of the egg, letting the excess drip into the bowl, and roll in the crumbs. Place on a lined flat baking tray and bake for 25 minutes or until golden and cooked, turning halfway through. Cooking time will depend on the size of the nibbles.
