IMG_0746As you may have guessed I love Tomatoes.  And when there are still green tomatoes left on the vine they can’t be wasted.  As a side dish or an appetizer fried green tomatoes are a fall favorite.

Ingredients

3-4 Green Tomatoes (Beefsteak are always great)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
1 cup fine bread crumbs
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Slice tomatoes as thick or thin as you like (we like ours on the thicker side).  Begin heating oil in the skillet.
