How to make Best Fried Green Tomatoes
Step 1: To prepare the tomatoes, slice them about half-inch thick and discard the ends.
Step 2: In a medium-size bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk.
Step 3: On a plate, scoop the flour.
Step 4: On another plate, mix the cornmeal, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper.
Step 5: Now, dip the sliced tomatoes into the milk and egg mixture. Then, transfer the tomatoes in breadcrumbs and turn upside down to coat.
Step 6: Pour enough vegetable oil in the skillet, you should at least have half-inch of oil in the pan and heat it over medium heat.
Step 7: Place 4 or 5 pieces of tomatoes into the frying pan, depending on the size. Make sure to not overcrowd the skillet and the tomatoes are not touching each other.
Step 8: Fry one side until brown and flip to cook the other side. Once done, remove the tomatoes from the pan and transfer on paper towels to drain excess oil.
