Cheesy Fish Fillet
These past few days, I've been thinking of cooking something special for my family especially for my 3-year-old picky-eater son. But I guess, the food I prepared was meant only for myself since I didn't ask them what they want and I only considered my cravings for cheese. When I head on to the supermarket, I bought a pack of cheese and staying away from red meat or chicken at least once a week, I went home with a half kilo of fish fillet. Will it taste good with cheese? I checked if I do have a recipe of fish with cheese and fortunately, I saw one. Unfortunately, the ingredients aren't the same. So I made my own version of cheesy fish fillet.
- 1/2 kilo Fish fillet
- 2 cups Bread crumbs
- 1 Egg
- 90 grams Processed Cheese
- Oil
- Prepare the ingredients. In a bowl, add 2 cups of bread crumbs, set aside. In another bowl, beat the egg until the yellow mixed perfectly well with the white, set aside. Slice the cheese into smaller strips then arrange on a plate.
- Wash the fish fillet, cut in half and pound it a little to make it flat so it will be easier to roll later on.
- Take one of the flattened fish. Add one strip of cheese then roll the fish.
- Dip the rolled fish in the egg and coat it with bread crumbs.
- Using vegetable oil, fry the fish until it turns golden brown. Put the cooked fish on a clean kitchen tissue paper to absorb excess oil.
- Serve with a dipping sauce. I served it with banana catsup for my kid since he loves it. Or you can make your own healthy dip by combining a light mayo and pickle relish in a bowl.
Ingredients and Procedure Simplified
In a bowl, add 2 cups of breadcrumbs then set aside. In another bowl, beat the egg then set aside. Slice the cheese into strips and arrange on a plate. Wash the fish fillet, slice into 2 inches long then flatten it a little so it will be easy to make a roll later. Add one strip of cheese then roll the fish. Dip the fish in the egg and coat it with bread crumbs. Using vegetable oil, fry the fish until it turns golden brown. Place the fried fish on an absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
