Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Wash the green tomatoes thoroughly, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick slices.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, a mixture of eggs and milk, and the panko breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dredge each tomato slice in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the egg and milk mixture, then coat it with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  2. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  3. 5

    Fry the Tomatoes

    Carefully add the breaded tomato slices to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  4. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once fried, remove the tomatoes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
