"One of my college roommates used to make this dish. Fines herbes contains thyme, oregano, sage, rosemary, marjoram, and basil. I'm not sure why this recipe calls for additional oregano & marjoram. Serve with hot buttered noodles."

I have been making this for years. I make another half of the butter herb mixture to drizzle on top. And also add 1/2 c wine instead of 1/4. I do it a bit different. I don't use the egg wash or flour. I brush the them with the melted herb butter then coat with bread crumbs. Then drizzle the remaining butter over them. And add just the wine after 20 min. But will try adding the butter to the wine next time. Also Fines Herbes is a combo of tarragon, chervil, chives and parsley. If I don't have any on hand I sub tarragon.
