===Serving suggestions===

Serve hot with a [[Green salad|green salad]], [[Mayonnaise|mayonnaise]] and [[Wedges|wedges]] of [[Lime|lime]].

===Chef's note===

Because of the egg whites, these cracked and popped a bit whilst being fried. I think the next time, I will roll save a little of the breading, dip them in egg and coat with a final layer of breading so the did not explode whilst cooking!

===Alternatives===

I bulked out the breadcrumbs with 50 % cornflakes, oats would be good too.
