Breaded Okra with Cream Sauce

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Rinse fresh okra and cut into 2″ pieces. In a large pot of boiling water cook okra for 10 minutes. Then drain it in a colander and set aside to cool down.

Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl and add the pieces of okra. Coat well with egg wash.

Onto a plate add plain breadcrumbs. Roll okra pieces in the breadcrumbs getting a nice coating on the pieces.

Into a 9 x 12 non-stick baking dish (or use cooking spray to coat a regular baking dish) add breaded okra in a single layer.

In a small bowl add finely diced onion, black pepper, butter, oil and Parmesan cheese. Mix with a spatula. Sprinkle mixture to cover breaded okra in the baking dish. Add vegetable stock into the dish.

Bake uncovered for 15 minutes at 400 F.

For the sauce: In a mixing bowl, add sour cream, milk, mayonnaise, parsley and thyme. Stir well and refrigerate until serving.

Serve cold sauce with the okra and enjoy!
