Fried Green Tomatoes

By GwennW

Ingredients

• 4 green tomatoes, sliced
• 1 egg
• 2 T. milk
• kosher salt and fresh ground pepper
• 1/2 c. yellow cornmeal
• 1/2 c. Italian seasoned bread crumbs
• canola oil for frying

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal and bread crumbs. Season with salt and pepper.

Mix the egg and milk into a separate bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Dip the tomatoes in the egg and then dredge them in the cornmeal mixture, coating both sides well.

Place a large cast iron skillet (or non-stick pan) over medium heat and coat with the oil.

When the oil is hot, pan-fry the tomatoes (in batches if necessary) until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

Carefully remove the tomatoes and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot.
