Ingredients
4 large green tomatoes
2 eggs
½ cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornmeal
½ cup breadcrumbs
2 tsp coarse kosher salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
1 quart vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Slice green tomatoes into ½-inch thick rounds, discarding ends.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Place flour on a plate.
On another plate, mix cornmeal, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
Dredge tomato slices in flour, dip into egg-milk mixture, then coat fully in breadcrumb mixture.
In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Fry tomato slices in batches of 4–5, without crowding. Cook until golden brown, then flip and fry the other side.
Drain fried tomatoes on paper towels. Serve warm.
Notes
Best enjoyed immediately while hot and crispy.
Serve with remoulade, ranch dressing, or a spicy aioli for dipping.
For extra crunch, double-dip the tomatoes in egg and breadcrumb mixture.
Works best with firm, unripe green tomatoes.
