Ingredients
4
Tilapia fillets
1
cup
all-purpose flour
2
eggs
beaten
1½
cups
breadcrumbs
1
teaspoon
salt
½
teaspoon
black pepper
½
teaspoon
paprika
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Pat the Tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Dip each fillet in the beaten eggs, then coat with the seasoned flour mixture.
Press the fillets into the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a large, shallow pan over medium heat.
Notes
Pat the fish dry with a paper towel before coating to ensure even breading.
Adjust the heat while frying to maintain a steady temperature and prevent burning.
Use a wide, shallow pan for even frying and easy flipping of the fish.
Don't overcrowd the pan; fry the fish in batches if necessary to maintain crispiness.
Allow the fish to rest on a paper towel-lined plate after frying to remove excess oil.
