Description
These Best Fried Green Tomatoes are a classic Southern dish that’s crispy on the outside and tangy on the inside. Perfect as an appetizer or side dish!
Ingredients
4 large green tomatoes
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornmeal
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-sized bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper on another plate. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip tomatoes into milk and egg mixture; dredge in bread crumbs to completely coat.
- Heat oil in a large deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place tomatoes in hot oil in batches of 4 or 5, to prevent them from touching; fry until crisp and golden brown on one side, then flip and fry on the other side.
- Transfer fried tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining tomatoes.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Slice tomatoes 1/2-inch thick. Discard the ends.
Notes
- For an extra kick, sprinkle with a bit of cayenne pepper before serving.
- These tomatoes are best enjoyed fresh and hot!
