Time 25m

Yield about 4 to 6 side dish serving

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1 tablespoon sugar
2 medium green tomatoes (about 1 pound), cored and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
1 cup stone-ground cornmeal
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper
4 slices raw bacon
Vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and sugar. Add the tomatoes and soak for 10 minutes, turning the tomatoes occasionally.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, salt, thyme, and cayenne. Season with pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lay the bacon in the skillet and cook, turning once, until crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain, reserve the bacon fat in the skillet. Pour the oil into skillet to a depth of 1/2 inch and heat until hot.
  • Meanwhile, drain the tomatoes and toss in the cornmeal mixture until well coated. Working in batches if needed, fry the coated tomatoes, turning once, until lightly browned and hot, about 3 minutes the first side, and 2 minutes the second side. Using a slotted spatula or spoon, transfer the tomatoes to a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
  • Arrange the fried tomatoes on a platter and crumble the bacon over the top. Serve immediately.

I've never had fried green tomatoes before, but these were amazing. The breading was crispy and the tomatoes were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making these again. Thank you!

These were delicious! I used a bit less breading than the recipe called for and they were still plenty crispy. I served them with a side of ranch dressing and they were perfect. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The tomatoes are always crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I love serving them with a dipping sauce made from mayonnaise, ketchup, and horseradish.

Great recipe, easy to follow and the tomatoes were delicious. I used panko bread crumbs instead of flour and they were nice and crispy.
