Method
Preparation
- Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick rounds and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Breading
- Dip each tomato slice into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
- Coat the tomato slice in the cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Frying
- In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
- Fry the breaded tomato slices in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried tomatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serving
- Serve hot, optionally with a dipping sauce like remoulade or ranch dressing.
Notes
Fried green tomatoes are best enjoyed fresh and hot. You can also add spices to the flour mixture for extra flavor.
