| blend 3/4 bag bakenette pork rinds, 1 tbsp bacon bits, 1 tbsp
parmaesan or romano cheese, 1 tsp garlic powder or chopped garlic, 1
tbsp onion flakes, salt, pepper, old bay, cayenne or chili powder,
and crushed fried cabot garlic and herb cheddar cheese (you can use
any cheese, but i reccomend this savory cheese from cabot,
instructions below) in a food processor until you have a fine
powder. dip tilapia (my favorite, but cod, sole, or scrod works just
as well) fillets in an egg wash (beaten eggs) and then coat
thoroughly with "breading." fry in a large iron frying pan in olive
oil and butter (about 1 cm) until golden brown. this "breading"
tastes just like bread crumbs only ten times better.
fried cheese Simply slice your favorite cheese fairly thin, throw it on a hot griddle with some butter, and cook to desired browning level. These are delicious dipped in ranch dressing. |
