Fried Green Tomato Parmesan Recipe: A Delicious Twist on a Classic

Ingredients

• 2 eggs eggs
• 4 cups Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• 10 green tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch thick
• 6 cups spaghetti sauce, divided
• 1 (16 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• 0.5 teaspoon dried basil

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs until they are smooth. Place the bread crumbs into a separate shallow dish for easy coating.
3. Dip each tomato slice into the whisked egg, then press it firmly into the bread crumbs to ensure a thorough coating. Arrange the breaded tomato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the tomato slices turn a beautiful golden color, approximately 5 minutes on each side.
5. Pour 3 cups of your favorite spaghetti sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Create a layer of tomato slices, followed by half of the mozzarella cheese, and then sprinkle with ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese. Repeat this layering process with the remaining 3 cups of spaghetti sauce, the remaining tomato slices, the remaining half of the mozzarella cheese, and the remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese. Finish by sprinkling fresh basil leaves evenly over the top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the dish is heated through and the top is golden brown, about 35 minutes.
