For the Crust:
1/4 c. Italian bread crumbs
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1/4 c. ground pine nuts. I used a mortar and pestle
1 tbsp. dried Italian herb mix. Mine had rosemary, marjoram, oregano and sage in it
1 egg
4 Tilapia filets
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Grind the pine nuts with a mortar and pestle till mostly ground. There will be big pieces of pine nuts and it will form somewhat of a paste.
Mix the first 4 ingredients together on a plate
Beat the egg and pour onto a plate
Dredge the the tilapia filets into the egg, then into the dry mixture
Heat a skillet on medium heat with the olive oil. Add the breaded tilapia filets and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the tilapia flakes with a fork.
Serves 4
