Twice Baked Tater Cafe (and other recipes)

You guys may not know this, but I live in the south, and as such, am exposed to southern cooking all day every day.

Today, I’m sharing one of my all time favorites.

Fried Green Tomatoes. 

Think I’m crazy? Obviously, you have not tried these for yourself, or else you’d know they are to die for.

Simple, too.  And despite the name, not actually fried. ;)

Ingredients:

- 4 large green tomatoes.  Red ones WILL NOT WORK, they are too soggy.  Go green or go home.

- 1 stick of butter

- 1 cup flour

- 1 cup Parmesan cheese

- egg and milk mixture

1. Preheat over to 400 degrees.  

2. Melt a stick of butter on a cookie sheet.

3. Cut green tomatoes into slices.  Mix cheese and flour in one bowl, then mix eggs and milk (or water) in another.  

4. Take tomato slices, dip them in the egg mix, then dip them in the flour mix, then dip them AGAIN in the egg mixture before dipping them for a final time in the flour mixture.  Repeat with all slices, until you are out of tomatoes and/or space on the cookie sheet.

5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, turn them over, then cook another 10-15 minutes until lightly brown and delicious.

6. Devour, and thank me later.
