Fried Oysters w/ Mac and Cheese

Dinner Tonight: Fried Oysters w/ Mac and Cheese




For Breakfast this morning I prepared some Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, Johnsonville Turkey Breakfast Sausage Links, toasted a slice of Aunt Millie's Light Whole Grain Bread, and had
my morning cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. After Mom and Dad got up I prepared the same thing for them and added Scrambled Eggs for them. Another fairly nice day out again, 45 degrees and partly cloudy. After Lunch I took Mom's car up to a much needed Car Wash. I brought her car back and I took my car up to have it washed. Back home I got the mini vacuum out and vacuumed both cars. Then got the Windex out and cleaned the inside windows of both cars. So for Dinner tonight I prepared Fried Oysters w/ Mac and Cheese.





To prepare my Fried Oysters I’ll need; 1 can Hilton’s Fresh Farm Raised Pacific Willapoint Oysters, 1 tablespoon Flour, 1/4 cup Egg Beaters, 1 cup Shake and Bake Seasoned Panko Bread Crumbs, Sea Salt and Pepper (to taste), 2 to 3 tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil. Hot sauce, Seafood Cocktail Sauce are all optional. I love these Hilton’s Fresh Farm Raised Pacific Willapoint Oysters. They taste so fresh!








I used Hilton’s Fresh Farm Raised Pacific Willapoint Oysters, my favorite. To prepare them; Place shucked oysters in a colander rinse in cold water and drain. Dredge drained oysters in the Flour, then Egg Beater’s, and then in Panko Crumbs seasoned with Sea Salt and Pepper (coating each oyster thoroughly). Set aside to dry at least 1/2 hour. An easy way to coat the oysters with the Panko Crumbs is to place the Crumbs in a resealable plastic bag, add egg-dipped oysters, seal bag, and then shake.







Next, heat the Oil in a frying pan (I like to use my cast-iron frying pan) to 370 degrees F. or until quite hot. Fry oysters until golden brown on one side, then turn over each oysters carefully to brown the other side, approximately 1 to 2 minutes on each side Fry oyster until golden brown and edges are curled. Do not overcook or overcrowd in frying pan. Remove from frying pan and serve immediately. Serve with Lemons Wedges, Tartar Sauce, Cocktail Sauce and/or your favorite hot sauce. I served mine with some Tarter Sauce with a side of my favorite hot sauce Frank’s Hot Sauce. They’re so delicious, golden brown, and with an incredible fresh flavor.



To go with the Oysters I prepared a Stouffer’s Classic Mac and Cheese Mac Cup, one of my
favorites. Just microwave and serve. A great tasting Mac and Cheese in a single serving cup! Tastes great, excellent Cheesy Mac. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny Pop – Pop Corn and a 7.5 ounce can of Coke Zero to drink
