Ingredients
– 4 tilapia fillets
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

– ½ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Creating Parmesan Crusted Tilapia is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
3. Beat the Eggs: In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. This will help the crust adhere to the fish.
4. Coat the Tilapia: Dip each tilapia fillet into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Then, coat the fillet in the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the top of each fillet for added crispiness.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.
7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
