Preparation
1
Prepare the tomatoes: Cut the tomatoes into about half-inch slices and place on a cooling rack sitting inside a tray lined with paper towels.
2
Sprinkle salt on both sides and leave them for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
3
Season the flour: While the tomatoes are resting, prepare the flour by mixing it with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic.
4
Prepare the egg wash: Whisk the two eggs with the milk.
Prepare the breadcrumb mix: Combine the bread crumbs with the parmesan cheese.
5
Coat the tomatoes: After 20 minutes, pat the tomato slices dry. Dust each slice with the flour mixture, dip it in the egg wash, then coat with the breadcrumb cheese mix.
6
Fry the tomatoes: Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry until golden brown, then drain on a paper towel.
7
Prepare the remoulade sauce: Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl and keep in the fridge until ready to use.
Serve: Serve the fried green tomatoes with the remoulade sauce. Enjoy!
