In order, dredge 1 piece of tilapia in flour, lightly shake off excess, dip fully in egg and breadcrumb mixture. Press crumbs into tilapia a bit to adhere. Lightly shake off excess. Place breaded fillets on baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily. - For Service:
