CRAPPIE DELIGHT
- 2 pound crappie fillets
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Oil for frying
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
Cut the fillets into serving-size portions and arrange in a baking dish. Pour the lemon juice over fillets and let stand for six to eight minutes, turning once. Combine eggs, milk and salt in a bowl. Roll the fillets in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture. Heat oil in a large skillet and fry fish until brown on one side, then turn. Sprinkle cheese on the cooked side. It will melt as the fish cooks. Serve immediately when done.
