Why This Recipe Is A Favorite

These crispy, tangy slices offer a perfect blend of crunch and flavor. They bring a comforting, Southern charm to any meal and are great for using up unripe tomatoes. Everyone loves their satisfying texture and bold taste.

Helpful Cooking Tips

- Use firm, green tomatoes for the best texture and flavor.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to get a crispy crust.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking and prevent sogginess.

Step 1

Pour some hot sauce into a small bowl for dipping. In another bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, grill seasoning, salt, and pepper. In a third bowl, beat the eggs into the milk. Then, pour the panko breadcrumbs into a shallow dish. Line up all your bowls in that order.

Step 2

Take each tomato slice and dip one side into the hot sauce. Then, coat both sides by pressing them into the flour mixture. Next, dip the tomatoes into the egg and milk mix, and finally, press them gently into the panko so they’re nicely coated. Place the coated tomatoes on a baking sheet and pop them in the fridge for about 30 minutes to chill.

Step 3

When you’re ready, heat some oil in a deep fryer or a cast-iron skillet until it reaches about 375°F (190°C). Fry the tomato slices in the hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and serve with the hot sauce for dipping.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these golden slices with a side of creamy ranch or spicy remoulade sauce. They pair well with fresh salads, grilled meats, or even as a tasty sandwich addition. Great as an appetizer or a snack anytime.

Storing This Dish

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to keep them crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
