Cashew Encrusted Tilapia

- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 6 -8 tilapia fillets (mahi-mahi, orange roughy works too)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 1⁄2 - 2 cups unsalted whole cashews or 1 1/2-2 cups unsalted crushed cashews
- salt and pepper
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F, line a baking sheet with foil and spray non-stick spray.
- If using whole cashews, pulse in a blender or food processor until crushed.
- Mix the cashews with the bread crumbs, set aside. Mix the milk and eggs and beat together in a medium bowl, set aside. Mix about 1 tsp each of both salt and pepper into the flour, set aside.
- Prepare an assembly line with the three mixtures by putting flour mixture into a shallow plate, and the bread-cashew mixture in another shallow plate.
- Work the fillets one at a time by flouring each of the fillets and shaking off the excess. Proceed to submerge the floured fillet into the eggs and then covering with the bread crumb-nut mixture; repeat with the remaining fillets.
- Place crusted fillets on baking sheet at least an inch apart. Insert into oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Eat fresh.

<p>I am a young cook and as a child I was always watching cooking shows. My favorite thing to do was to pretend I was hosting a show behind the breakfast bar, lol, but I love the cooking, love the food. I am very eager to try new recipes, and that's why I am here! <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />Visit my shop by clicking the provided link to access a variety of Dominican products!</p>
