Description
My Grandma’s Breaded Sole is a cherished childhood memoryโa delightful blend of crispy, golden-brown goodness that brings back warm nostalgia. Enjoy it fresh off the pan for a comforting meal, or chill it in the fridge and savor the cold, crunchy bites for a satisfying lunchtime treat. This recipe is not just a meal; it’s a journey back to simpler times.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 sole fillets
- 1 1/2 eggs
- 15 crackers (for that perfect crunch)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon butter (for frying)
Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by cutting the sole fillets into pieces, each about 2 inches wide. |
| 2 | In a small bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 eggs and cornstarch until well combined. This creates a sticky coating for our sole. |
| 3 | On a plate, break up the crackers and cornflakes into fine crumbs. Grandma used her trusty potato masher, but you can crumble them by hand. Aim for small, uniform pieces. |
| 4 | Now, the fun part! Take each piece of sole and dip it first into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. |
| 5 | Next, generously coat the piece with the cracker and cornflake crumbs. Press gently to make sure the crumbs stick. |
| 6 | In a frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Make sure the entire bottom of the pan is nicely buttered, even if you’re using a non-stick pan. This step adds a wonderful flavor and helps crisp up the breading. |
| 7 | Carefully place each breaded sole piece into the pan. Fry for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden and crispy. |
| 8 | Keep an eye on the heat, adjusting if needed to prevent burning. A gentle sizzle is what you’re looking for. |
| 9 | Once cooked through and beautifully golden, remove the sole pieces from the pan and onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. |
| 10 | Serve your Grandma’s Breaded Sole hot, with a squeeze of lemon for a zesty kick, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy the crispy, tender goodness! |
Recipe Notes
- For an extra boost of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of salt, pepper, or your favorite seasoning to the egg mixture.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry the sole pieces in batches to ensure they cook evenly and get that perfect crispiness.
- This recipe is not just deliciousโit’s also kid-friendly, ready in under 30 minutes, and won’t break the bank!
