When you crunch into these you'll believe you're down home! |
- Fry the bacon in the skillet to render the fat. (Eat the bacon or save it for another dish.)
- Wash the tomatoes and slice them about ¼ inch thick. Discard the ends.
- Mix the flour, corn meal, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in one bowl.
- Beat the egg in the other bowl. Stir in the buttermilk.
- Cover the plate in the paper towel.
- Heat the oil and the bacon fat over medium heat.
- Dredge the tomatoes in the flour mixture and shake off the excess, then dip them in the milk wash, and dredge them in the flour again.
- Place the tomatoes in the hot oil without allowing them to touch. Fry them until they are golden brown and then flip them. This should take about 2 minutes. When they are golden brown on the second side (another 2 minutes) remove them to the plate to drain on the paper towel.
Serve them warm, sprinkled with feta cheese, and drizzled with balsamic glaze.
