CRUNCHY FRIED SQUASH

Steps:

• 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.
