My panko breadcrumbs didn't stick to the squash, I'm not sure what went wrong....maybe less milk and more egg next time? I just sprinkled the fried bread crumbs on top of the fried squash, so it kinda worked, lol! I'll try again, and give an updated review.

What a great method! I love panko crumbs but it never occurred to me to use them for fried squash. I sprinkled them lightly with some seasoned salt hot out of the pan and served with some ranch dressing to dip them in. A lovely recipe that went very well with our fried catfish and hushpuppy dinner. Three thumbs up!
