Tilapia Parmesan
Tilapia Parmesan
To make a classic chicken or veal parmesan from scratch takes a lot of labour. First you have to pound the chicken/veal into a thin scalloppini and then hand-bread each portion. Thankfully, creating a seafood version of this classic dish is simple. Our Upper Crust™ Parmesan Crusted Tilapia with Tuscan Herbs is already preportioned and coated with all the flavor and texture you need. To create a tilapia parmesan we simply top each portion with tomato sauce and cheese, melt and serve. Oven cook times for our Upper Crust™ Parmesan Tilapia are close to 15 minutes in the oven. This cook time can make it a bit unapproachable for some operators. To save time and increase the crispness, check out my ‘chef hack’.
