Bully's recipe is authentic, but ...

Being a heart patient, I've had to adjust things a little.

What I did for Fried Green Tomatoes is use low fat Miracle Whip or low fat Mayo for a smear dip, then dredge the mater slices in Italian seasoned bread crumbs and bake them on a cookie sheet in the oven at 350 - 375 F until the breading feels crispy but the tomato slices are still slighty firm but hot all the way through. This varies depending upon thickness and greeness.

I can't tell much difference between this and fried simply because the low fat Mayo has just enough (zero trans fat) oil in it to give a kind of "fried" taste profile.

Oh, yeah, I forgot ... sometimes I add a little grated Parmesan to the mayo to give it a more "Italian" taste.
