I have been asked several times the Summer to come up with a recipe for "fried" green tomatoes. I finally have got around to making these and I don't know why I waited so long. This is my favorite recipe that I have done so far. They have a wonderful crunchy outside and when you bite into them you get that tangy goodness. These don't have that greasy batter coating that falls off when you eat them. I baked mine on a baking sheet elevated on a wire rack so the coating gets crunchy on both sides. I dusted them lightly in flour. Then coated in egg wash. You can use a real egg or 1/4 egg beater. Then in the cornmeal and panko coating.
1 large green tomato (slice into 8 pieces about 1/4 inch thick)
First step (lightly dust in mixture)
1/2 cup plain flour for dusting
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
Second step (egg wash)
1 med egg beaten or 1/4 cup egg beater
Third step (dredge in coating mixture)
1/2 cup panko
3 Tablespoons of cornmeal
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Place on wire rack that has baking sheet beneath it and has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes until tomatoes are browned and give slightly to the touch. Enjoy!
