Best Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe

This is how I make fried green tomatoes. I like a cornmeal breading for this classic southern dish because it gives fried green tomatoes a great flavor, color, and crunch that flour alone can't beat.

What you need to make Fried Green Tomatoes

GREEN TOMATOES
1 cup CORNMEAL (use a medium or fine grind...coarsely ground cornmeal can be a bit much)
1 cup all-purpose FLOUR (divided)
1 EGG
SEASONING (be generous, and use whatever seasonings you like...I prefer Italian seasonings, lots of garlic powder, and black pepper)
SALT
OIL for cooking

How to cook Fried Green Tomatoes

Every now and then I'll order fried green tomatoes at a restaurant, and whether I like them or not will depend on if they are battered in cornmeal or not. Cornmeal adds that great flavor and crunch that I associate with classic fried tomatoes. Buy hard, green tomatoes. They can have a tinge of red, but not too much, because you want them firm enough to cook and not become too soft.

Slice the green tomatoes to desired width; I like mine about inch thick.
Spread the tomato slices out and lightly salt.
Set up a breading station with 3 flat-bottom bowls.
In the first bowl place cup of flour. Season the flour as desired, and mix.
In the second bowl whisk 1 egg and 1 Tbsp of cold water.
In the third bowl place the other cup of flour and cornmeal. Season the cornmeal and flour as desired, and mix.
Using a paper towel, dry the tomato slices.
Heat a skillet of oil on medium-low heat. You don't need a lot of oil, about 1/8 inch deep.
Take a slice of tomato and on each side bread it lightly in the flour, then coat it in the egg, then bread it one final time in the cornmeal/flour mixture.
Carefully place the breaded tomato in the skillet. It should sizzle and begin to cook immediately when it hits the oil.
Cook each tomato 2-3 minutes or until golden brown in color.
Remove fried tomatoes from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain for a moment, then serve.
Serve fried green tomatoes hot. They're good enough to eat plain, or you can accompany with hot sauce, creamy salad dressing, aoli dressing, or a mild mustard or creamy horseradish dressing.
