List of Ingredients
4 oz goat cheese, softened
2 tbsp finely chopped green onions or 2 tbsp fresh chives
1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1 tbsp fresh chopped basil
1 tbsp fresh chopped thyme
1 tsp finely grated lemon, rind
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, lightly, beaten
3/4 cup coarse yellow cornmeal
4 green tomatoes
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil Recipe
Preheat oven to 350�F (160�C)
In bowl and using wooden spoon, beat together goat cheese, onions, parsley, basil, thyme, lemon rind and 1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) each of the salt and pepper. Place flour in shallow bowl; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon (1 mL) salt and remaining pepper. Place eggs in another bowl and cornmeal in a third; set aside.
Slice tomatoes into sixteen 1/4 inch (5 mm) thick slices. Pat with paper towel to dry. Sprinkle with remaining salt.
Spread heaping tablespoonful (15 mL) goat cheese mixture evenly over half of the tomato slices; sandwich with remaining slices.
Keeping �sandwiches� intact, carefully coat both sides of sandwich in flour, tapping off excess. Dip in egg then coat both sides in cornmeal.
In large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons (25 mL) of the oil over medium heat. Cook 4 of the sandwiches, turning once and adding more oil as necessary, for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden and tomatoes are fork-tender. Repeat with remaining sandwiches, keeping cooked sandwiches warm in 350�F (160�C) oven.
