1
Slice the Tomatoes
Wash the green tomatoes and slice them into 1/2 inch thick rounds.
2
Prepare Breading Station
In one bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
4
Coat the Tomatoes
Dip each tomato slice into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off. Then, dredge it in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
5
Fry the Tomatoes
Carefully place the breaded tomato slices in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the fried tomatoes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
