Fried Green Tomatoes:
-1 green tomato, sliced

-2 eggs
-2 small spoonfuls of flour

-vegetable oil on medium-high and ready to fry

Method:
using two small bowls
1- whisk flour, egg, and milk (with salt and pepper) to make a batter
2- breadcrumbs
Dip the sliced green tomatoes into the egg batter and then to the breadcrumbs, coat to cover the tomato.
Put them, 3 to 4 slices at the most, in the hot vegetable oil for 2-3 minutes on each side. Spoon them out and put them on a pile of papertowels to drain the oil. Work the remaining tomato slices

Sour Cream-Dill Dip:

-about 2 tablespoons of dill (eyeball)
-salt and pepper

Method:
stir to mix in a small bowl (you can do it in the bowl you'll be using to serve)

Place the dip bowl in the middle of the serving plate surrounded by the golden fried green tomatoes and serve.
