Equipment Needed:

• Large heavy skillet

📋 Ingredients:

• 4 green tomatoes
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Prep the Tomatoes: Wash and slice green tomatoes into ½-inch thick rounds. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Set Up Dredging Stations: In one shallow dish, whisk eggs and milk. In another, mix flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat the Oil: Pour oil into skillet to 1 inch deep. Heat over medium-high to 350°F (175°C). Test with a pinch of flour — it should sizzle immediately.
