Fried Green Tomatoes
Ingredients
4 large green tomatoes
2 eggs
½ cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornmeal
½ cup bread crumbs
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
Directions
-
Gather all ingredients.
-
Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends.
-
Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-sized bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper on another plate. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip tomatoes into milk and egg mixture; dredge in breadcrumbs to completely coat.
-
Heat oil in a large deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place tomatoes in hot oil in batches of 4 or 5, to prevent them from touching; fry until crisp and golden brown on one side, then flip and fry on other side.
-
Transfer fried tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining tomatoes.
-
Serve hot and enjoy!
- The Dinner series involves following a very unused overgrown trail around and eventually over the hill which the starting trail heads to. As you start at the trail head continue to the cache "Travel to Eggs and Bacon". Then follow the trail to each of the dinner caches around the hill above you. Once you reach the caves you will need to head up to the crown of the hill where you can collect the remaining two caches. Alternatively, you can do it in any order you like which would make for a bigger adventure with more bush bashing. Have fun!!
