We mentioned how wonderful fried green tomatoes are in an earlier post about Lady and Sons restaurant, so we thought it might be a good idea to include a recipe for the delectable morsels so you can make them at home and wow your guests in true southern style!Ingredients

4 large green tomatoes2 eggs1.2 cup milk1 cup all purpose flour cup cornmeal cup bread crumbs (pre-seasoned is okay)1 teaspoons coarsely ground salt teaspoon ground black pepper1 quart vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

  1. Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends.
  2. Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-size bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs and salt and pepper on another plate. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs to completely coat.
  3. In a large skillet, pour inch vegetable oil in pan and heat over a medium heat. Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not overfill the skillet the tomatoes should not touch each other. When browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain on paper towels and enjoy!!
