INGREDIENTS 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 pounds, about 4 cups, cooked, fresh Brussels sprouts 1 egg, well beaten 3/4 cup dry, fine bread crumbs 2 cups corn oil Salt, to taste 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Dip each Brussels sprout into egg and then roll in bread crumbs. Heat 2 cups corn oil in a large heavy skillet. A piece of bread dropped into the oil will turn golden brown when the temperature of the oil is just right. Fry sprouts quickly until brown, turning with a slotted spoon about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove sprouts from skillet with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Salt, to taste. Sprinkle grated Parmesan over all and serve immediately. NOTE - Good as an unusual side dish with fried chicken.
