Fried Green Tomatoes

BLT Sandwich Assembly

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.

  2. 2

    Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three plates: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with a mixture of cornmeal, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dredge each tomato slice in flour, dip in the egg mixture, and then coat with the cornmeal mixture.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tomatoes

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded tomatoes until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
