Cube Steak Parmesan

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water
1/3 cup crushed saltine crackers (I used Italian Bread crumbs-worked great)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
3 tablespoons oil
4 (4 ounce) beef cube steaks
Spaghetti sauce (however much you want)
4 slices mozzarella cheese (or whatever you have)
Cooked noodles (again, whatever you have on hand)

Preheat the oven to 350. In a shallow dish, stir together the flour, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and water with a fork. In a third bowl, or shallow dish, mix together the cracker crumbs (bread crumbs), 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese and basil. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge the cube steaks in the seasoned flour, dip into the egg mixture, and coat with the cracker crumb mixture. Place them in the skillet, and fry just until browned on each side. Arrange steaks in a single layer in a greased casserole dish. Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven. Spoon spaghetti sauce over steaks when the 25 minutes are up. Top each steak with cheese; sprinkle remaining oregano over the top. Bake for 5 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted, and the sauce is hot. Serve over cooked noodles. *I used venison for this recipe - yum!*
