Best Fried Green Tomatoes on the Planet!!! image

After trying Fried Green Tomatoes in several restaurants I finally broke down & threw this together to see if I could do better & voila! Best I've ever had so do try this & be sure to get ripe green tomatoes (or striped heirlooms) from your local farmer's market. That's the only way to enjoy them. Some places will cheat & use regualr tomatoes that aren't ripe (so they're still green) and the flavor is just awful. You really have to have ripe green ones to do it justice... My favorite is Giant German Green & I used to grow them at home but the squirrels & rabbits have done my garden in so I have to make the trip to Tom's Farms. Well worth it! Hope you enjoy! Oh, hey, if you like add a few drops hot sauce to the egg, try without first. If you have any bacon fat the flavor is worth it to add a bit of that to butter & oil.

These were amazing! I used a little less breading than the recipe called for, and they were still crispy and delicious. The tomatoes were so juicy and flavorful.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a winner. The tomatoes are always crispy and flavorful, and the breading is perfect. I love serving these with a side of ranch dressing.
