Description

This country-style fried green tomatoes recipe coats tomatoes in crushed saltine crackers, before frying in butter for a superbly delicious side dish.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 cup crushed saltine crackers
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup butter
5 green tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick

Directions

1 Stir flour, salt, and black pepper together in a shallow bowl until well combined. Place crushed crackers in a second shallow bowl. Beat eggs in a third bowl.
2 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
3 Dip each tomato slice in egg to coat, then dredge in flour mixture. Dip floured tomato slice back into egg, then press into crushed crackers until evenly coated.
4 Cook tomato slices, in batches, in hot butter until golden brown on each side, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Add more butter to the skillet as needed. Serve hot.
