  1. 1

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

    In three separate bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and a mixture of cornmeal, salt, and black pepper in the third.

    Fry the Green Tomatoes

    Dredge each tomato slice first in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the tomato slices until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.
