Fried Green Tomatoes with a Sweet Twist
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 dash grill seasoning
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs, or as needed
  • 2 green tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
1
Prepare the dipping sauce by placing hot sauce in a small container for added flavor. In another small dish, combine flour, brown sugar, grill seasoning, salt, and pepper to create a crunchy coating. In a third small dish, whisk eggs into milk to form a creamy mixture. Finally, place panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish for added texture.
2
Arrange the dishes in a row, side by side, to facilitate easy access.
3
Next, prepare each tomato slice for coating by dipping one side into the hot sauce for a tangy kick.
4
Press each tomato slice firmly onto the flour mixture to coat evenly, making sure to cover both sides.
5
Dip the coated tomato slice into the milk mixture, allowing it to absorb the creamy liquid.
6
Gently press the coated tomato slice into the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring it's fully covered and textured.
7
Arrange the coated tomato slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.
8
Refrigerate the tomatoes for at least 30 minutes to allow them to chill and set, making them easier to handle.
9
Heat a substantial amount of oil in a deep-fryer or a cast-iron skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
10
Carefully place the chilled tomato slices into the hot oil, being mindful of their delicate texture.
11
Fry the tomato slices in the hot oil until they're golden brown, turning them over every 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
