This Sunday dinner staple is first fried and then baked to a crispy golden brown. Well-seasoned with oregano and sage, this classic is sure to satisfy diners at church potlucks or late-summer picnics, too. I love fixing it for family and friends. -Donna Kuhaupt, Slinger, Wisconsin

what about thyme or marjoram in place of oregano

I would suggest dill weed or cilantro leaves.

What could I use instead of oregano as my husband does not like the taste of oregano?

I found this recipe years ago in Taste of Home (I think) and have been using it since. The only thing I do differently, is that I replace the cornmeal, with plain breadcrumbs. I like the texture better, that's all.
