Question

How do you make fried green tomatoes?

Answer 1

I've seen it done many ways.  You start with firm green tomatoes and slice them about 1/2 inch thick.  To bread your tomatoes, use three seperate bowls and put flour in one (you can add pepper to the flour if you like), whisk a couple of eggs and about 1/4 cup or so of milk in another bowl, and put your breading in another.  You can use breadcrumbs-cornmeal-crushed saltines or ritz crackers-a combination of these...  First dip the tom. in the flour, then egg mixture, then breading (pat your bredding into place).  Heat olive oil or butter or bacon grease in a skillet on med-high heat and put your breaded tom. in until golden brown on both sides(3-5 min per side?)  Let them drain for just a sec. on a paper towel and add your salt as soon as you take them out of the pan.  Serve them hot!  YUM!  

Answer 2

I've only made fried green tomatoes once or twice but last time I made them this is how I did it and they were sooooooo good.

This is what you will need

1 egg and some buttermilk

plain flour

And then mix up this bread crumb recipe. You won't need all of it though.

3 cups panko bread crumbs

1 tbsp parsley

1/2 tsp poultry seasoning

1/2 tsp white pepper

1/2 tbsp white pepper

1/2 tsp seasoned salt

1 tsp garlic salt

3/4 tsp thyme

Mix well. Keep left over in a ziplock baggie or another air tight container. (This also makes a good chicken-chicken fried steak)

Dip thick slices of green tomatoes in flour (both sides), then dip in the egg wash mix, then in the bread crumb mix. Fry in butter in a skillet.

Fried Green Tomatoes

Ingredients

3 medium, firm green tomatoes

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup milk

2 beaten eggs

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, 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.

Hope this helps! =)
