Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Balsamic Reduction

    In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let it reduce for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, combine flour with salt and pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. In a third bowl, place cornmeal.

  4. 4

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dip each tomato slice first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat with cornmeal.

  5. 5

    Fry the Tomatoes

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded tomato slices. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Arrange the fried green tomatoes on a plate, sprinkle with bleu cheese, and drizzle with the balsamic reduction.
