Description

This Kentucky-style fried green tomato recipe dips tomato slices in egg and milk, coats in cornmeal, then fries in bacon grease in true Southern fashion.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup bacon grease
• 3/4 cup cornmeal
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 green tomato, cut into 1/4 inch slices

Directions

1 Heat bacon grease in a large skillet over medium heat.
2 Whisk cornmeal, flour, and black pepper together in a shallow bowl until well combined. Whisk milk and egg together in a separate shallow bowl until evenly combined.
3 Dip tomato slices into milk mixture, then press into cornmeal mixture until evenly coated.
4 Cook in hot bacon grease until browned on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Bacon grease burns easily, so adjust heat as needed.
