Original recipe (1X) yields 3 servings

1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 pinch salt
1 cup dry bread crumbs, or more as needed
1 large yellow squash, cut into 1-inch slices
½ cup all-purpose flour
4 ounces garden vegetable cream cheese, softened

Directions

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large frying pan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Beat egg, milk, and salt in a shallow bowl. Place bread crumbs in another shallow bowl.
Coat both sides of squash slices in flour. Dip each slice in the egg mixture, then coat both sides with bread crumbs.
Place 4 to 5 slices in the hot oil and fry until golden brown and fork-tender, about 3 minutes on each side, using tongs and a fork to help turn them over in the pan. Do not overcrowd; overcrowding will reduce crispiness. Set fried slices on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Continue frying remaining slices. Let cool, about 5 minutes.
"Frost" slices with some of the vegetable cream cheese as desired. Serve while still warm, or at room temperature.

Editor's Note:

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
