Ingredients

• 4 large green tomatoes
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups cornmeal
• 0.5 cups bread crumbs
• 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

2. 2

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

3. 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. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip tomatoes into milk and egg mixture; dredge in bread crumbs to completely coat.

4. 4

   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.
