Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe
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
Directions :
Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends. 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. In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the 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 crowd the tomatoes, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain them on paper towels.

Am southerner, FGTs are amazing. Also watch the movie.
What is a green tomato? Unripe, or a type of tomato that is green?
They’re actually super good.
the night of the first frost, go out and pick all the green tomatoes…fried greens for supper. Nothing more than dipped in flour with salt and pepper, fried in oil, both sides, done. I still remember the way the air felt and smelled, the first really cold night. Some years my father put out smudge pots.
