Fried Green Tomatoes

Fried green tomatoes are one of my favorite summers sides. I'd better enjoy them while I can! :)














2 Tbsp of cooking oil
2 large green tomatoes
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 eggs (the yolk and white separated)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt

Heat a 10" skillet on low to medium heat. Add the cooking oil. While the skillet is heating, slice the tomatoes (the slices should be approximately 1/4 inch thick). Sprinkle the slices with the salt and pepper on both sides. In two separate bowls, or plates, that can hold the egg whites, add the add whites only to one and the flour to the other. Dip the seasoned slices into the egg white first and then coat them lightly with the flour.

Place the coated tomato slices onto the heated skillet and cook them on both sides for approximately 3-4 minutes. Pay close attention to the temperature of the skillet so as not to brown the tomatoes too quickly. Once the tomatoes have cooked to a light golden brown, remove them from the skillet and cool and serve as a side dish to your favorite meal or as a snack. Enjoy!
