Fried Green Tomato Biscuit – 6 Servings

Ingredients

• 2-3 medium-sized, green tomatoes
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup whole buttermilk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• Oil for frying

Assembly

• 6 eggs
• Butter, as needed for frying eggs
• 6 slices cheddar cheese
• Hardee’s® Made-from-Scratch Biscuits

 Instructions

1. Wash and slice green tomatoes approximately 1/3-inch thick, discarding the tops and bottoms.  Set aside.

2. Whisk 2 eggs and buttermilk together in a medium-size bowl. Place flour into a shallow dish. Mix cornmeal, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper into another shallow dish. Dip the tomato slices into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into buttermilk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs/cornmeal to completely coat.

3. In a medium skillet, pour oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over medium heat. Place breaded tomato slices into the frying pan in batches of 2 or 3, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are golden brown, flip and fry them on the other side (2-3 minutes each side). Drain them on paper towels.

4. Heat another skillet over medium heat. Add butter and cook eggs to desired doneness.

5. Split Hardee’s Made-from-Scratch Biscuits.

6. Place 1 or 2 fried tomato slices on the bottom of each biscuit, top with cheddar cheese and prepared eggs. Close biscuit and serve immediately.
