1. 1

   Prepare the Tomatoes

   Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Sprinkle both sides with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out moisture.

   Bread the Tomatoes

   Dredge each tomato slice first in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture. Ensure each slice is fully coated.

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

5. 5

   Fry the Tomatoes

   Carefully add the breaded tomato slices to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
