Different ways to bread that you didn't know

In cooking, there are many techniques that can elevate a dish in just a few steps, and breading is definitely one of the most important. Breading fillets, patties, or pieces of vegetables transforms even the simplest recipe into a dish with a much more interesting variety of flavors and textures. Give your recipes a special touch with these ways to bread.FlourThis is the most well-known (and easy) version of breading. Basically, what you need to do is place the meat (or whatever you are going to bread) into a plate with flour and cover it well to form a light layer. Immediately after, pass it through egg and then back through flour.Bread CrumbsAlthough it is a very similar technique to the previous one, this version achieves a crunchier texture. The first thing to do is grind some bread and place it in a flat tray. After that, the steps are the same: flour, egg, and finally the bread crumbs. For the breading to stick well, the bread must be well adhered to the surface with the egg.CerealsA very original and of course very healthy way to bread is to substitute flour or bread with cereals. Put a cup of oats into the processor and grind it without completely pulverizing it. For this version of breading, you will only need the egg and the cereal you are going to use.NutsAnother option for a gourmet breading is to use nuts, such as walnuts, peanuts, or almonds. In this case, you can use a blender, mortar, processor, or simply a knife to chop the nuts. Unlike the other types of breading, in this version, the aim is not to achieve a uniform layer but a crunchier texture, so you don’t have to worry about perfectly grinding the nuts. SeedsFinally, a different option for breading is seeds. While in the other versions egg is needed to fix the breading, in the case of seeds, you can use some liquid or sauce (honey, mustard, soy sauce) to adhere them to the surface of the food.General RecommendationsRegardless of which method you choose for breading, we suggest considering these recommendations for a better result:Use very hot oil so that the food does not absorb too much grease.Always let the breaded food drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.Whip the egg whites first and then add the yolks for a slightly fluffier breading.Try your new technique with these easy recipes: Potato Croquettes Stuffed with Cheese and BaconCrispy Spicy Chicken WingsShrimp Croquettes with Habanero Sauce
