Have you ever had fried green tomatoes?  I love them.  My Mamaws’ made them for years and every time I see them on a menu at a restaurant I have to have them.

I rarely (never) make them at home because I think they are to time consuming.  Until now.  Let me show you how I discovered an easy and pain free way to make this scrumptious appetizer.  Or meal.  Yum!

Beat two eggs with 1/4 cup of milk, salt and pepper then take a blurry photo.

Mix a cup of flour with salt and pepper in a separate bowl.

In yet another bowl, mix 1 cup of panko, salt and pepper with 1/4 cup of corn meal.

Slice the delicious green tomatoes around 1/4 inch thick.

Dip the tomatoes into the egg wash….

Coat them in the flour mixture….

Back into the egg wash….

Then into the panko mixture….

Looking so yummy already.

Place all the coated tomatoes onto a liberally greased baking pan.  I used canola oil.  You can use whatever oil floats you boat – canola, olive, etc.

Bake for 45 minutes at 400* until cooked through and crispy on the outside.  You can flip them halfway if you would like.  But, I am lazy and did not.  They were still crunchy and perfect!  Enjoy!
