Fried Green Tomatoes - Updated version

Fried Green Tomatoes

I used my prior recipe for a base, then combined in 3 other recipes to come up with this one. We seem to like this even better than any previous recipe we have tried.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large green tomatoes - make sure they have not started to ripen
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • canola oil covering large non-stick frying pan to 1/4-1/2 inch
Directions:
  1. Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick (much better than 1/4 inch); discard each end
  2. Whisk eggs and milk in a medium-sized bowl
  3. Mix all other ingredients in a large bowl or, if you have one, a large plate with a 'lip' on the rim
  4. Heat the oil
  5. Dip tomatoes into the egg mixture and coat well
  6. Dredge tomatoes in the flour mixture to completely coat on both sides
  7. Place tomatoes in the hot oil making sure they do not touch one another - better to do in batches if skillet won't hold them
  8. Turn over when first side is brown and brown the other side
  9. Drain on paper towels and enjoy
I served them with a garlic ranch dressing - very good.
