I had first tried Fried Green Tomatoes at a local restaurant. They were sliced almost paper thin and the breading wasn't great so I tried my own version which came out flavorful and great!

4 large green tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
4 - eggs
1 cup(s) italian bread crumbs
1 cup(s) panko bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Using a medium-sized skillet, fill about 1/4 with oil and let heat on medium-high heat.

Salt tomato slices with salt (to taste) and dip into egg mixture then in Italian bread crumbs. Dip the tomato in the egg mixture once more and then into the Panko crumbs. Repeat until all tomato slices are breaded.
