Crispy Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup crushed saltine crackers
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 0.5 cup butter
• 5 green tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick

Instructions

1. In a shallow bowl, thoroughly combine flour, salt, and black pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, place the crushed crackers. In a third bowl, beat the eggs.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat until fully melted.
3. Dip each tomato slice in the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge the tomato in the flour mixture. Dip the floured tomato slice back into the egg, and press it into the crushed crackers for an even coating.
4. In batches, cook the tomato slices in the hot butter for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until they achieve a golden-brown color. Add butter to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking. Serve immediately while hot.
