Hope everyone had a great weekend. Tomorrow I will share more about Halloween as well as my birthday celebration including dinner at a beautiful restaurant that was on my to do list for over 5 years!! For now, I wanted to recycle this oldie but goodie since it didn't get much air time a few months back.
I recently ordered these out at a restaurant & while the taste was good they were the thinnest fried green tomatoes I've ever seen. I even had to ask if there were tomatoes in there. Other times there's too much batter or they're too thick & hard. I love these homemade ones so much that I'm sticking to 'em. They really are the best I have ever tasted!!!!!!
Vegetable Oil
2 Green Tomatoes, sliced 1/4" thick (makes about 8 rounds)
Flour
3 Eggs whisked
Breadcrumb mixture - Italian breadcrumbs mixed with Panko (Italian Style)
Garlic powder & dried basil
Heat about 2-3 inches vegetable oil over medium high heat. Mix breadcrumbs with garlic & dried basil. Dredge tomato slices in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg mixture & then breadcrumbs. Cook for about 3 minutes, then turn them over for their last minute. The tomatoes floated to the top when they were just about done.
Remove with slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towel. Sprinkle with salt & parmesan cheese immediately. Let cool 2 minutes. They taste so good when they're not so hot!!!
My Thoughts:
I combined the breadcrumbs because I was low on one of them. Since they came out so good I will purposely do this again!

I have wanted to try these for the longest time.... Frankly ever since I saw the movie Fried Green Tomatoes, which I loved! Thanks for posting this... I am so going to find some green tomatoes and give it a whirl one day!!
I'm thinking the Panko with the cornmeal would be a good combo...BTW, the bbq pizza roll came out the best!
oooh, i love the way this looks. tonight i am making chili... maybe sometime this week i can make these! :)
happy voting day!
I have to say I have never had a fried green tomato before. I do love tomatoes. I can eat them like an apple! :)
Ummmmm, I am totally making these. Stat.
I swear you read my mind. I needed a tried and true recipe for these as I have 4 green tomatoes on my counter just WATING to be fried. If I don't get called in to work tonight, I am making them.
Oh joy!! I have four green tomatoes and I have some mistrust in the recipes I have found online! I will be making these tomorrow!
I love Panko Breadcrumbs! Fried Green Tomatoes are on the Menu at Lady and Sons! Take care I am off to VA for a bit!
my mouth is watering!!!!!
Yum, I've never had these but they sure do look delish!!
I've never had fried green tomatoes, but they look tasty!
These are my ALL TIME favorite. I mean, if I were on a desserted island and could only eat one thing his would be a serious contender. My Grandma taught me how to make them and I can't wait to teach the kids. I'll have to try this version. My Grandma does regular meal with salt & pepper, and then she sprinkles a little sugar on top. YUM!
Oh and don't forget to stop by and read yesterday's post. There is a little something for you. :o)
wow those look good and I don't even like tomatoes!
YUM! I haven't had fried green tomatoes in ages. They look fantastic! Have a great day!!
I was kinda worried about you. I was going to email you today to see if you were alright or if you fell off the face of the planet.
I have yet to try these but they are on my list. They look so good.
I can't wait to hear about your birthday celebration and see where you went.

Love fried green tomatoes. I usually put goat cheese on top of them while they are still warm. Then I serve them with corn salsa. Really yummy!
Mmmmm....my hubby makes Fried Green Tomatoes every summer...so good!
Never tried fried green tomatoes before -- BUT, I happen to have several green tomatoes growing right now in my backyard. I was JUST looking at them earlier wondering if the squirrels were going to beat me to them again (and the birds!)
I will most definitely give these a try, along with that artichoke dip you posted. ((SMACK!!)) I forgot the artichokes while at store today!! ack!
First of all, I love that movie (Fried Green Tomatoes). Thanks for the recipe.
Oh, my! These look scrumptious!! :D
This sounds wonderful!
my husband loves fried green tomatoes, I love how you've got it prinayble, how'd you do that ?

Yummo Steph those fried green tomatoes turned out great. I could eat a whole plate by myself. LOL
One of my very favorite things! I really wish I could eat some right now.
Wonderful recipe! Some things just aren't the best they can be unless they're homemade!!
I have always wanted to make these! Now, with this simple recipe, I can! Thanks for the inspiration!
I've never liked them, but they taste so good.
I mean look so good.
These look awesome - yours are so perfectly crispy and non-greasy. I have tried a different recipe that I wasn't crazy about. Looks like you have found a winner, so I'll try this one!
I LOOOOOVE Fried Green Tomatoes! Have you ever tried fried green beans? They rock too!
You make me wish I liked tomatoes!!!
