This play on the Southern classic, Fried Green Tomatoes, pairs tangy goat cheese with sour green tomates and crunchy breadcrumb coating. Pair with Roasted Red Pepper Coulis or Marinara.
- 5 medium-size green tomatoes sliced into 1/4″ slices
- 3 oz. goat cheese
- ½ cup flour for dusting
- 3 eggs whisked
- 1 ½ cups Panko breadcrumbs
- Sea salt and fresh ground pepper
- Peanut or Vegetable oil for frying for frying
Heat oil in deep fryer.
Place about one tablespoon of goat cheese on the tomato slices. (I used my fingers to flatten the cheese down on the tomato slices so they would fry up evenly).
Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste.
Dust each slice with flour, then dip into egg and finally into the Panko crumbs to coat.
Fry slices in oil at 375° until golden brown. Lay finished slices on paper towels and repeat frying until done.
