Fried Green Tomatoes

What do you do with all those green tomatoes you have now your garden is through? This southern-inspired treat is the perfect solution! And sooo yummy, too!

Fried Green Tomatoes

-Sliced Green Tomatoes (slice about 1/4" thick)- figure 1 tomato per person

-2 eggs, beaten with 2-3 Tbsp of water

- 2-4 Cups bread crumbs (plain, or seasoned- doesn't matter)

Salt and pepper
Canola oil for frying

Dip tomato slices in egg mixture, then in breadcrumbs. Dip again in eggs and breadcrumbs, then place in frying pan with 1-2 inches of hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides and remove to a paper-towel lined cooking rack or plate. Salt and pepper to taste. Eat with fantastic yogurt dipping sauce (below)

Fantastic yogurt dipping sauce:
1 C. plain yogurt
1/4 C. sour cream
1/4 C. parmesan cheese (the cheap Kraft kind in the bottle is great!)
1 Tbsp. Garlic powder
Salt and pepper

Mix all together in a bowl and serve with fried green tomatoes! Yummy!!!

Hi Jess, great blog. I love fried green tomatoes. We like them soaked in buttermilk and dipped in flour and then salt, peppered with black and cayenne then fried in butter. Mmm tasty. Your way sounds good too.
