Crispy Southern Fried Green Tomatoes
Ingredients
  • 4 large green tomatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary ingredients beforehand.
2
Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices, discarding the outer edges in the process.
3
In a medium-sized bowl, blend eggs and milk together until well combined.
4
On a separate plate, spread flour evenly for coating purposes.
5
In another dish, mix cornmeal, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper to create a seasoned coating blend.
6
Dip each tomato slice into the flour coating, ensuring an even layer.
7
Next, dip the floured tomatoes into a mixture of milk and eggs, again coating them evenly.
8
Finally, coat the tomato slices in the seasoned bread crumb mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
9
Heat oil in a large deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
10
Carefully place the coated tomato slices into the hot oil in batches of 4 or 5, leaving space between each slice to prevent them from touching.
11
Fry the tomatoes until they are crispy and golden brown on one side, then flip them over to fry on the other side.
12
Transfer the fried tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
13
Repeat the frying process with the remaining tomato slices.
14
Serve the hot, crispy fried tomatoes immediately and indulge in their deliciousness!
