Preparation

  1. Mix cheese and bread crumbs in medium-size bowl.
  2. Beat egg whites just until foamy.

  4. Dip fish or meat into flour and shake off excess, then into egg white and then into bread crumb mixture.
  5. Heat oil in non-stick skillet and saute over medium heat until crust is brown on one side; turn and brown on second side.
