  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in deep fryer or large pot on stove to 350° Fahrenheit
  2. Beat eggs and milk together in a bowl. Pour milk and egg wash in a ziplock bag.
  3. Combine remaining ingredients (except broccoli) in a separate ziplock bag; close the bag and shake thoroughly to mix. (Cajun or Creole seasonings: Zatarain's or Tony Chachere's, to taste or 1 teaspoon).
  4. Shake and soak broccoli pieces in egg wash bag for 5 minutes, then place them in flour and seasoning ziplock bag. Shake to coat. Place each coated broccoli piece in hot oil and cook until golden brown. Drain on paper towel.
