4. Prepare for breading: set up three bowls in a line. In the first bowl place the 1/2 cup of flower and add salt and a few grinds of black pepper. In the middle bowl add the eggs, lightly beaten. In the third bowl combine the breadcrumbs and butter and mix, then add the Butter Garlic Flavour, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Combine well.
5. Coat each slide of avocado through the first bowl, then the egg, and then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumbs.
6. Place the slices, once breaded, on the wire rack.
7. Once all slices are on the rack, spray lightly with cooking spray.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the breadcrumbs are lightly browned.

Try dipping it in your favourite sauce, I personally love ranch!!!

 

 

Enhance the Flavour - Eat the Foods that People Journeyed For

Remember high school history class? Remember the stories about merchants traveling to the Middle East for months to years just to get their hands on some spices and salts? It was a round trip too. They would go there and come back to their homes to sell what they acquired.

            Doesn’t it sound delicious? The salts and spices that came from a yearlong expedition to an exotic country? Well there is GREAT news for you. You do not need to travel by camel to get your delicious salts. Make your food taste just as authentic and just as delicious as any dish you would ever find in the 1200s. Our salts are made to enhance your dish, or dominate it if you wish! (try the bacon flavour and you will surely want it to dominate everything!)

            If you’re having trouble thinking of what to make your dinner guests, why not try seasoning your steaks with the Tomato andOnion Rock Salt? On a hot summer cookout why not season your chicken with our Coconut and Lime seasoning? It will probably go great with all the Coronas!

            Cooking delicious foods requires many detailed steps. Most people tend to overlook the seasoning phase, but there is a lot involved in this step. The seasoning can make the difference from an okay steak to an amazing steak, it’s true! Now of course, seasoning alone won’t make a bad chef into a great one, but careful seasoning combined with good preparation will make one delicious meal.

            So what are you waiting for? You don’t need to travel to the other side of the ocean anymore to get these delicious seasonings. See for yourself why thousands of people would literally travel over a year to get their hands on these delicious seasonings!
