Fried  Green Tomatoes (From Allrecipies.com)

Brought to Blog by Allie Jones

Original recipe makes 4 servings

4 large green tomatoes
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Plenty of olive oil

Directions

1.    Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends.
2.    Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-size bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs and salt and pepper on another plate (note to RED group – for our southern/Cajuun night I added some Cayenne and paprika to the plate). Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumb mixture on plate to completely coat.


3.    In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is ¼ to 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over a medium/high heat. Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side till that side ia also brown. Drain them on paper towels.
