Loaded Fried Green Tomatoes
- 3-4 green tomatoes, firm
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup cornmeal
- ½ cup panko / bread crumbs
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk, (I prefer buttermilk)
- 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning (optional, but recommended)
- 1 & ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ - 1 cup pimento cheese
- 4-5 slices bacon, crispy and crumbled
- ¼ cup sweet tomato jam (click for recipe!)
- Heat oil in large pan over medium heat.
- Slice tomatoes into thick slices.
- In one bowl, mix eggs and milk together.
- In another bowl, place flour and cajun seasoning together.
- In a third bowl, mix cornmeal, panko/bread crumbs, salt, pepper together.
- Toss tomato slices in flour to thoroughly coat.
- Using a fork, dip floured tomatoes into egg wash and then coat with the cornmeal mixture.
- Pan fry until golden brown. Do not over-crowd pan, as that will lower the oil temperature and prevent crispy crusts on the tomatoes.
- Place on paper towels to drain and cool slightly.
- When cool enough to handle, top with pimento cheese, bacon and sweet tomato jam.
- Serve warm.
