Fried Green Tomato Parmesan

Recipe By: Amy Fossett, Severn, Maryland – Runner Up, Old Mill Recipe Contest 2020

“We came to Pigeon Forge in 2018 for vacation, staying at the Margaritaville Hotel, spending the day at Dollywood and enjoying a meal at The Old Mill Restaurant. We love the down-home Southern taste of The Old Mill mixes and wanted to incorporate them in our recipes.

We absolutely love fried green tomatoes and decided to try this Fried Green Tomato Parmesan. It’s simple, easy, and delicious. We are counting down until we are able to return to Tennessee, but in the meantime, we enjoy being able to utilize The Old Mill mixes at home.”

FRIED GREEN TOMATO PARMESAN

Prep time: 20 MinCook time: 25 MinTotal time: 45 Min

Ingredients

• 1 to 2 cups The Old Mill Green Tomato Breading
• 3 large green tomatoes
• 1 cup vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 jar (26 ounces) tomato pasta sauce
• 1 to 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup fresh basil leaves, sliced for garnish

Instructions

1. Pour the Green Tomato Breading into a shallow bowl or pie plate, and set aside.
2. Core the tomatoes, and slice into 4 to 5 slices each.
3. Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the tomato slices in the breading on both sides. (If desired, peel the tomatoes and dredge them on the sides as well.) When the oil is hot, slice two to three tomato slices at a time into the oil and fry a couple minutes on each side, or until golden brown. With tongs, remove the fried green tomato slices to a rack or paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining tomatoes.
4. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
5. Place half of the tomato slices in a 2-quart casserole to cover the bottom of the dish. Or, use the same skillet used for frying, drain the oil and wipe it clean with paper towels. Cover the tomato slices with half of the pasta sauce. Add ½ to 1 cup mozzarella cheese. Repeat with the rest of the tomato slices, then the rest of the pasta sauce, then another ½ to 1 cup mozzarella. Top with Parmesan. Place in the oven, and bake until bubbly and heated through, about 25 to 30 minutes. Place under the broiler, if desired, to melt the cheese on top. Remove from the oven, and garnish with chopped basil leaves.

Note:

1. Use fire-roasted tomatoes instead of pasta sauce.
