Fried Green Tomatoes

Southern-style fried green tomatoes are a crisp, tangy, and boldly savory appetizer. Sliced unripe tomatoes that are dredged in flour and cornmeal before being skillet-fried to buttery-brown perfection. You can also fry up red tomatoes with this recipe but make sure they are not overripe or they will be mushy. Thank you All Recipes


4 large green tomatoes
2 eggs
½ cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornmeal
½ cup bread crumbs
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

  • 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)
  • 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.
