Fried Green Tomato Muffuletta Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Fried Green Tomatoes

   Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with cornmeal.

2. 2

   Bread the Tomatoes

   Dip each tomato slice first in the flour mixture, then in the egg, and finally in the cornmeal, ensuring they are fully coated.

3. 3

   Fry the Tomatoes

   Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded tomato slices and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

4. 4

   Assemble the Muffuletta

   Slice the fresh-baked bread in half horizontally. Layer the provolone cheese, fried green tomatoes, and olive giardiniera on the bottom half of the bread. Place the top half on and press down gently.

5. 5

   Serve

   Cut the muffuletta into individual servings and enjoy!
