Step-by-Step Instructions
 

  • Round up all of the ingredients to get started.
  • Cut the tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices, discarding the ends for optimal flavor.
  • In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. On one plate, place flour. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper on another. Start by coating tomatoes in the flour, then dip into the milk and egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Heat oil in a skillet to 375°F (190°C). Place a few tomato slices in the hot oil, ensuring they don't touch. Fry until they are golden and crisp on each side.
  • Let the fried tomatoes drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining tomatoes.
  • Indulge in your delicious creation while they are still hot!

Notes
