What is the best way to flush the engine after antifreeze got in oil? I'd like to get all the antifreeze out of the oil system. Thanks!

I would have to think that changing the oil and filter a couple times would be a good start depending on how much antifreeze of course and whether it had been circulated through the oil galleries.
 
Yes, as said above. Couple of oil changes. However, what happened and how much? Since oil and water don't mix, generally pull the plug and let it drain until the green stops and you're okay. If you run it, and it homogenizes through the oil pump, then a couple of oil changes...and do it hot so it flows out well.
