*heat until melted and brush onto both sides of the bread. Place on Foreman grill or on a pan until edges are crispy.

Lets get hot. Add your frying oil of choice into a pan. I used a large skillet with about an inch of oil. When is it ready? Once you start to notice a haze coming off the oil sprinkle a little breading or dip your food item….see if it bubbles!

While you’re waiting for your haze you should have plenty of time to get the breading in order. Combine the ingredients and coat your fish. I make sure it’s fully coated and pressed in. Set it on a plate and get ready for the best part.

Once you’re oil is ready, gently lay the fish in the pan. Careful! No one likes a burn.

Fish cooks fast! By the time the breading is done the meat will be too! Check the bottom and flip once it’s golden brown- or browned to your liking. Wait for the other side to do the same and transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to absorb extra oil.

Perfectly cooked Crappie Parmesan that goes well with an Italian style sandwich. — Crappie and Bluegill flatten down making the perfect parmesan sandwich.

Now, lets toast some bread. We used oil this go around but a liquid fat you prefer will work just fine (hello butter).Season your fat and brush the open sides of your bread. Place on a hot grill pan and let it get toasty.
