Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
4 cups vegetable broth or 4 cups chicken broth
6 -8 ounces fresh green beans
1 cup flour
1 cup plain breadcrumbs or 1 cup seasoned dry bread crumb
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
vegetable shortening (for frying) or vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Place beans in the broth. Bring to a boil and cook 15 minutes, then drain and place in cold water to stop cooking process.
  • Mix beaten egg with milk in a shallow bowl. Measure 1 cup of flour into another shallow bowl. Combine bread crumbs, 3/4 teaspoons salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder into a third bowl.
  • Take a handful of beans out of the water and shake off excess liquid. Coat the beans with the flour, shaking to remove excess flour. Dip the beans, one at a time, into egg/milk mixture, then dip in breadcrumb mixture. Place the beans on a plate until all are coated.
  • Heat the shortening or oil to 350 degrees F in a heavy skillet (or use deep fryer). Use enough to cover the beans, about 1 1/2 inches. Fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
