I had some awhile back at a restaurant (not in these parts) and it was a hand breaded house special and it was excellent. It was sort of like panko breading, and not too thick. It was the best I've ever had. The old Boulevard buffet downtown used to have a similar breading for their fried egg plant. Dip in some jalopeno ranch dressing and you are a happy camper.

I recently came into some home grown squash and was craving that taste so fried it using just milk dip & flour and it wasn't even close to how good the other breading was.

I want advice on how to bread and fry zucchini (breading and process) so it can be closer to how delicious that stuff I had was. I am hoping to be able to use the same process for squash and egg plant too.

Thanks

At what restaurant did this Zucchini delight happen? Maybe the recipe can be found online?

Did they have Parmesean cheese on them?

I grill it! Slice long ways at about 3/4 inch thick, cover in olive oil sprinkle generously with adobe seasoning and grill hot . Do not cook until soft just until it shows good grill marking and still firm in the center. No dipping sauce required but to each his own!! Goes good with cilantro lime grilled chicken!!

Zucchini wasn't really a favorite of ours, but we've had a lot given to us over the years.

Sweetie would mix it equal parts with yellow squash (when we had it) and stir fry it, or bread it like okra (flour & cornmeal) and fry it. FWIW, yellow crook-neck squash really helps the flavor.

Just my 2¢ ... :drunk2:
