Ingredients

For the fried green tomatoes

For the cajun mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg wash: In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and milk until well combined.
  2. Slice the tomatoes: Cut the green tomatoes into thick slices (about 1/2 inch) to ensure they remain sturdy and prevent sogginess when fried.
  3. Coat the tomatoes: Dip each tomato slice into the egg mixture, making sure they are fully covered. Let them soak for 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Dredge in dry mix: In a separate bowl, mix together the cornmeal and flour. Once the tomatoes have soaked, dredge each slice in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are completely coated for that perfect crunch.
  5. Fry until golden: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the coated tomato slices in batches until they are golden brown on both sides (about 3-5 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

🍳 Pro tip: To keep your fried tomatoes crispy, avoid crowding the pan—fry in small batches instead.

  1. Make the cajun mayonnaise: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, cajun seasoning, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a zesty dipping sauce.

  2. Serve and enjoy! Present the fried green tomatoes on a platter with a side of cajun mayonnaise for dipping.

🌟 Tip: For an extra kick, feel free to adjust the amount of cajun seasoning based on your heat preference.
