2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup dried bread crumbs plain
salt
20 ounces flounder fillets
1 stick unsalted butter cut into tablespoons
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the milk. Spread the flour and bread crumbs in 2 separate wide, shallow bowls; season with salt.

Wipe out the skillet and repeat with another 2 tablespoons of butter and the remaining oil and fish.
