Fried Cucumber Slices

These pan fried cucumber slices are very good.
Everyone that tastes these raves at how good they are.
I just made a batch for our supper tonight.
These are addictive, I couldn't stop eating them.
Easy to make ahead of time and keep in a warm
oven until serving time at the big game.
They are crunchy golden brown outside and
taste like creamy buttery goodness inside.
These are good tasting at room temperature.

Ingredients:
1 fresh cucumber
1 cup flour
1 large egg
1 cup milk
1 cup flavored dried bread crumbs
1/2 cup canola oil
dash of table salt

Directions:
Wash cucumber and cut ends off.
Use a potato peeler to peel
almost all of the skin off.
I leave some skin intact.
Slice cucumber into 1/4" rounds.
Preheat oil to medium in a large saute pan.
Place flour in a mixing bowl,
Place whisked egg and milk in another bowl and
place breadcrumbs in a third mixing bowl.
Dredge cucumber slices in flour,
then egg wash and then in breadcrumbs.
Saute to brown in hot oil on both sides.
Season with table salt to taste,
keep cucumber slices warm until serving.

OH yum!!! Down here in the south, fried pickles (spears and slices) are popular, I'd never thought of just trying cukes. Can't wait to try this one! Thanks.

I just made these, a little work
but well worth it. Very yummy...
I think summer squash would also be good in this method of cooking.
