Steps:

• Note - the orginal recipe didn't have ingredient amounts. When I submitted the recipe, Zaar wouldn't take it without amounts, so I just estimated. I haven't tried this recipe, and I'm just posting as a request from one of the message board topics. So go easy on the ratings and please provide tips.
• Select cucumbers that are firm and preferably thin-skinned and small-seeded.
• Peel, if you wish, slice into 1/8" slices and dip in beaten egg mixture (the eggs with milk). Dredge in flour or preferably Italian seasoned bread crumbs.
• Fry in margarine or vegetable oil till browned on both sides.
• Drain on a paper towel, salt and pepper and top with Parmesan cheese. A great appetizer or side dish.
• Note - hot sauce in the egg mixture or cayenne in the flour or breadcrumbs might kick it up a bit.
