In another container, mix the eggs with the milk to form a dough.
Bread the fillets: Brush with the flour mixture, brush with beaten egg and coat again with flour.

Variations and tips:

For a spicy note, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour. Substitute chicken breast for cubed steaks for a fried chicken version.Make extra batches to make reheating easier on busy days by using the oven and rack to crisp it up.

If you wish, complete the filling with a light salad.
