Fried Recipe ∗ Northern Fried Green Tomatoes

A different take on the Southern classic, utilizing panko bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 large green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
• salt to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Combine panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper together in a bowl. Beat eggs in a separate bowl. Pour flour into a third bowl.
2. Pour in enough vegetable oil to measure 1/2-inch in a large skillet; add olive oil. Heat oil mixture to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Dredge each tomato slice in egg; coat with flour. Dredge through egg again and press into panko mixture until evenly coated.
4. Fry coated tomato slices in the hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove fried green tomatoes with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper plate or paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt.
