Maxie's Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 2 cups panko
- 1 1/2 teaspoons loosely packed lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons dried tarragon
- 1/4 cup Old Bay Seasoning
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 pounds green heirloom tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- Place egg and milk in a medium bowl and whisk until combined; set aside.
- Place panko, lemon zest, tarragon, and Old Bay Seasoning in a shallow plate and mix until evenly combined; set aside.
- Heat oil over medium heat in a large frying pan or a cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels; set aside.
- Set up separate shallow bowls with flour, egg wash, and breading.
- Dry tomato slices off with paper towels, then dip each slice in flour and shake off the excess.
- Dip in egg wash, let excess drip off, and place in breading.
- Press down firmly to adhere breading; flip and repeat.
- Continue until all tomatoes are breaded.
- Fry tomato slices until golden brown, approximately 1 minute on each side.
