This recipe makes a thick crust that gets crunchy while the middle of the tomato stays tender. If you want a lighter breading, skip the breadcrumbs and only use the cornmeal!
4 large green tomatoes (sliced 1/2 inch thick) 2 eggs ½ cup milk 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 Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-size bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs and salt and pepper on another plate. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs to completely coat. In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over a medium heat. Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain them on paper towels. Salt while still hot! Comments are closed.
