Lighter Fried Green Tomatoes

Fried Green Tomatoes are a must-have in the South in Alabama, and my kids beg for me to make Fried Green Tomatoes. Since this week’s Summerfest with the Food Network is featuring tomatoes, I thought these Lighter Fried Green Tomatoes were worth sharing. These are super easy to make and make a great appetizer or side dish. My children love them dipped in a homemade ranch dressing or just on their own. Enjoy them this summer while they are at their peak. Now, be sure to check out the fabulous tomato recipes below:

Lighter Fried Green Tomatoes

Prep: 20 minutes

Cook: 15 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

3 large green tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 eggs
1/2 cup skim milk
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1 Salt and pepper to taste
1 Canola oil

Preparation

1. Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-size bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs, salt and pepper on another plate. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs, coating well.

2. In a large skillet, pour oil and 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. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain them on paper towels.
