Nope, nope. Going to stick with pan-fried. -
great recipe and less hassle than frying in a skillet! -
These are quite good. Not quite the same as their pan-fried cousins, but a nice veggie treat nonetheless. I think I will increase the black pepper a bit next time, and might add a bit of buttermilk to the egg as well. Make sure to serve these babies hot for the best results! Thanks for posting. -
A great way to use green tomatoes that still falls in the "weight-watchers-friendly" category. i've never had real fried green tomatoes, but these tasted just fine.

I am 30 years old. I am married and have a wonderful family. My hubbie is the greatest. We have a 2 1/2 year old little girl. Her name is Lizzie Belle. I have pics if anyone wants to see. I work for a bank in Brandon, MS. My hubbie is a police officer in Jackson. I have a great cookbook that is called "Any Blonde Can Cook". It is awesome. I love to cook...when I have the time. My family keeps me pretty busy though. I enjoy reading books, going to the movies, traveling, spending time with my family, cooking, playing with Lizzie Belle, tanning, and getting my nails done.
