INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 4 large green tomatoes

  • Dairy

    • 🥚 2 large eggs
    • 🥛 ½ cup milk

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • ½ cup cornmeal
    • ½ cup bread crumbs
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

    • 1 quart vegetable oil for frying

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends.

3

Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-sized bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper on another plate.

4

Dip tomatoes into flour to coat, then dip tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs to completely coat.

5

Heat oil in a large deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place tomatoes in hot oil in batches of 4 or 5 to prevent them from touching. Fry until crisp and golden brown on one side, then flip and fry on other side.

Transfer fried tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining tomatoes.
