1
Slice the Tomatoes
Wash the green tomatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4 inch thick rounds and set aside.
2
Prepare the Breading
In a shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
3
Make the Egg Mixture
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
5
Bread the Tomatoes
Dip each tomato slice first into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat in the cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
6
Fry the Tomatoes
Carefully place the breaded tomato slices in the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
7
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the fried tomatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot, optionally with a dipping sauce.
