Classic Fried Green Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 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
• 1 quart vegetable oil for frying

The flour, cornmeal, and breadcrumbs combine to create the perfect crispy coating. The eggs and milk help bind the crust to the tomato slices, while the kosher salt and black pepper bring out the natural flavor of the tomatoes. You can adjust the seasoning according to your taste or add extra spices like paprika or cayenne pepper for a little heat.
