Fried Green Tomatoes and Mozzarella

Fried Green Tomatoes and Mozzarella

Ingredients

  • ½ cup
    Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup
    Flour
  • 1 cup
    Cornmeal
  • Kosher Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 2
    Eggs, beaten
  • 2
    Large Green Tomatoes, sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 4 ounces
    Buffalo Mozzarella, sliced
  • ½ cup
    Pickled Red Onions
  • ¼ cup
    Balsamic Vinegar Reduction
  • Basil Oil, as needed

Preparation

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk together flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper. Dredge each tomato slice in beaten eggs and then in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.

Fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy for about 15 to 18 minutes per side. Drain. To assemble, place a slice of buffalo mozzarella on top of each fried green tomato slice and grill under broiler to melt cheese, browning if preferred.

Garnish with pickled red onions, balsamic vinegar reduction and basil oil. Makes 2 servings.
