Fried Green Tomatoes

Good Saturday Morning to you all. As I said the other day, I have been looking for a recipe for Fried Green Tomatoes that sounded like the ones we had for lunch the other day and here it is. I have added sliced green onions to the batter because the ones we had, had just a touch of the onion greens in them that just made them pop…….so try them, they are just the best.

Ingredients

3 medium, firm green tomatoes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk
2 beaten eggs

1 green onion top chopped very fine (just the top of the onion)
2/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs or cornmeal
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Method

1 Cut unpeeled tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices. Sprinkle slices with salt and pepper. Let tomato slices stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place flour, milk, eggs with onion tops, and bread crumbs in separate shallow dishes.

2 Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Dip tomato slices in milk, then flour, then eggs, then bread crumbs. In the skillet, fry half of the coated tomato slices at a time, for 4-6 minutes on each side or until brown. As you cook the rest of the tomatoes, add olive oil as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
