These fried green tomatoes were amazing! The breading was crispy and flavorful, and the tomatoes were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fried green tomatoes turned out terrible. They were soggy and flavorless.

I'm not a huge fan of fried green tomatoes, but I have to say, these were pretty darn good. The breading was light and crispy, and the tomatoes were nice and juicy. I would definitely make these again.
