After seeing a few bloggers post about this “secret club”, I decided I wanted to see what this whole thing was about. Luckily, it was still taking new members and something that was really fun to do! It was excited to get the email about which blog I would get to cook from and see what I would like to do my take on!
I was assigned to the blog, Every Little Thing. One thing that I learned about Stacy and her blog is that she loves to eat locally! I know all of us are (or should be) trying to reduce our carbon footprint and it was fun to see what she would bring home from some of the local St. Louis Markets. I've never been to St. Louis and for me, it was also fun to see her pictures from places around town.
I decided to make the Crust Topped Tilapia from her blog but have definitely added my own spin to it. I showed my husband the recipe this morning and off his brain went. He recently had a special at the restaurant of tilapia so he wanted to re-create a fish dish that had been on special as well as take from Stacy's tilapia recipe. I know a lot of people aren't fish eaters but fish is something that everyone in our family will eat and is generally inexpensive.
Asiago Encrusted Tilapia
recipe adapted from this recipe on Every Little Thing
- 4 filets, tilapia (or other white fish)
- non-stick cooking spray
- 2tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. pepper
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup asiago cheese
- 1/4 fresh chopped parsley
- 1/4 butter, melted
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup white wine
2) Place the fish, skin side up on baking sheet and season with half of the salt and pepper. Turn over and repeat.
4) Combine bread crumbs, asiago cheese, and parsley in a mixing bowl.
5) Add melted butter to bread crumb mixture and combine until moistened.
6) Divide bread crumb mixture evenly over tilapia.
7) Add lemon juice and wine to pan and place in oven at 350 degrees. (This will help the the fish to keep moisture the chef says!)
8) Bake for 8 to 10 minutes till fish starts to flake.
Enjoy!
P.S. I have to say that this was something even Mr. Picky, Cam ate and Cole ate 2 servings!

The fish looks great! I wish I could get the fish locally too but unfortunately, St. Louis happens to be in the middle of the country :( Oh well!
Thanks for linking to my blog!
I'm not a fish person but this looks awesome! Anything covered in breadcrumbs and cheese is okay in my book! ;)

This must have been intensely flavorful.
Darn it, I thought I posted a comment to tell you that I featured you! Sorry about that. This really looks great, I need more fish in my diet :)
Made this tonight-- it was my favorite asiago tilapia so far! I only changed it by mixing a little parmesan and garlic-- (garlic in everything) The lemon juice is a great idea, too-- yummm. Thank you!
