Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to prepared baking dish.

Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Mix in remaining 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard and 1/2 teaspoon curry powder. Add breadcrumbs and stir until crumbs are crisp and golden, about 8 minutes.
Step 3
