• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying

• 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Gather all ingredients.

Step 3

Serve hot and enjoy!

Step 4

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 breadcrumbs to completely coat.

Step 5

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.
