Preparation Steps
- Wash and slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices, sprinkling them lightly with salt. Let them sit for 15 minutes.
- Set up a breading station with flour, whisked eggs, and a mixture of cornmeal, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper in separate dishes.
- Dab tomatoes dry, dredge each slice in flour, dip in eggs, and coat in the cornmeal mixture. Repeat for all slices.
- Heat enough vegetable oil in a skillet to cover the bottom by 1/4 inch until shimmering.
- Fry the breaded tomatoes in a single layer for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain on paper towels and season with salt and pepper immediately.
- Serve on a platter and enjoy as a snack or topping for salads and sandwiches.

Notes
Use firm green tomatoes for the best results. Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature for crispiness.
