Fried Green Tomatoes

I was a bit tired yesterday from all the work we did this weekend, so I took a break.  My break consisted of making some fried green tomatoes.  Good and bad idea.  =P  I wouldn't recommend cooking when you're half asleep.  haha  It was a good stress reliever though.  =) 

We have lots of things growing at home.

I took five fried green tomatoes and sliced them into 1/4 inch slices and halved them. 

Looks good huh?

Then a three step process.  Coat, dip, and dredge.  Into the hot oil it goes. Out it comes looking like this:

Mmm...oil....haha just kidding.  So I really didn't think it was going to come out this oily.  I'm a light eater, so I only ate about three of these guys.  5 large tomatoes was waaaayyy too much!  It came out to three full plates!  Boy was I tired.  Doug finished frying the rest for me.  haha Gotta love him!  =)

The recipe is reposted below from the trusty All Recipes

Ingredients

4 large green tomatoes

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1/2 cup bread crumbs

2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1. Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends.
2. Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-size bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs and salt and pepper on another plate. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs to completely coat.
3. In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) 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, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain them on paper towels.
