Step 1
Start by pouring some hot sauce into a small bowl for dipping. In another bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, grill seasoning, salt, and pepper. Beat the eggs into the milk in a separate dish, and pour the panko breadcrumbs into a shallow plate. Line up all your bowls so they're easy to reach.

Step 2
Take each tomato slice and dip one side into the hot sauce. Then, coat both sides by pressing them into the flour mixture. Next, dip the tomatoes into the egg and milk mixture, making sure they're well coated. Finally, press them gently into the panko so they get a nice, even crust. Place the coated slices on a baking sheet and pop them in the fridge for about 30 minutes to chill.

Step 3
When you're ready, heat some oil in a deep fryer or a cast-iron skillet until it reaches 375°F (190°C). Fry the tomato slices in the hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until they turn golden brown and crispy. Drain them on paper towels if you like, then serve warm with the hot sauce for dipping.
Why you’ll love it
These crispy, tangy slices bring a unique twist to traditional fried dishes. The combination of tart green tomatoes and a crunchy coating creates a perfect balance of flavors and textures that everyone will enjoy.
How to serve
Serve alongside a dollop of creamy ranch dressing or spicy remoulade sauce. They also pair well with a fresh garden salad or as a crunchy side to grilled meats.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain crispiness rather than using a microwave.
