Yes, you can use red tomatoes for this recipe, too—but then it’s not “fried green tomatoes!” Serve these on a platter with a glass of iced tea while munching and sipping on your porch on a sweet summer night. This is a great way to use your Green Beefsteak tomatoes!

Instructions

  1. Slice tomatoes ½-inch thick and discard the ends.
  2. Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-sized bowl.
  3. Spread flour out on a large plate.
  4. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper on another large plate.
  5. Dip tomato slices into flour to coat.
  6. Then, dip tomato slices into milk and egg mixture; dredge in cornmeal and bread-crumbs mixture to complete coat.
  7. Heat ½-inch of canola oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  8. Place breaded tomato slices in skillet in batches of 4 or 5. Don’t crowd the tomatoes; they should not be touching each other.

  10. When done, remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve these with a classic cajun remoulade, which you can make easily by combining 1 cup of mayo with: 2 tbsp Creole mustard, 1 tbsp horseradish, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp Cajun seasoning, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika.
