Ingredients
Scale
2 large eggs
2 T heavy cream
1 c homemade Shake-n-Bake mix
2–3 medium green tomatoes
lard, tallow or coconut oil
Instructions
- Slice the green tomatoes in to 1/3″ wheels.
- Combine eggs and cream in a small bowl, whisking to blend.
- Pour Shake-n-Bake mix into a separate shallow dish.
- Dip each tomato slice in the egg mixture, then dredge in the Shake-n-bake. If needed, do a second round of egg and breading to fully cover each slice. It may be necessary to press the breading onto the tomatoes to ensure it sticks.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 1/2″ of your fat of choice over medium heat. Aim for a temperature of around 350-375F (175-190C).
- Carefully place the breaded tomato slices into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them – you may need to adjust the heat to maintain the right temperature and avoid burning.
- Fried green tomatoes are best enjoyed right after frying when they are still crispy and hot.
Notes
Optional but delicious: Try drizzling a bit of fermented hot honey on top of your fried green tomatoes for a sweet kick!
