Bringing back my must-have breading for this beloved Southern dish!

You might remember this breading from the original Cravings. A spicy, tangy blend of grated parmesan and toasty panko crumbs...oh baby. If you can find some firm green tomatoes (an unripe red tomato, not a green heirloom tomato!) in your neck of the woods, these guys make theeeeee perfect snack. Honestly I have yet to try a fried or baked green tomato where the breading sticks and crisps quite as well as this. The sauce is...I don’t have a name for it. It’s a beautiful hybrid of some sort of BBQ ranch and the horseradishy bloomin’ onion dip. Chrissy’s BBQeautiful sauce.

For The Tomatoes

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 cup panko (Japanese-style) breadcrumbs

  • 1 ¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese (I like to use my Microplane)

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 pound green tomatoes, cut into ¼-inch-thick slices

  • Garlic salt, for seasoning

For the BBQeautiful Sauce

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • ½ cup buttermilk, shaken

  • 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish, slightly drained

  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning

  • 10 dashes hot sauce (I use Louisiana!)
