Fried Green Tomato Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 pound firm green tomatoes (about 4 tomatoes)
1/2 cup white cornmeal
1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon onion salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs, well beaten
2 tablespoons milk (at least 2% milk!)
Vegetable oil for frying

Recipe Instructions:

1. Wash tomatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick slices.
2. In a baking dish, combine white cornmeal, flour, sesame seeds, onion salt, and black pepper.
3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the eggs and the milk and whisk together well. Dip the tomato slices into the egg mixture, then coat both sides of the tomato with the cornmeal mixture.
4. In a heavy skillet, heat about 1/4 of an inch of vegetable oil over a medium heat. Fry tomato slices in a single layer, about two minutes per side, or until golden brown.
5. Drain on paper towels, or a clean brown paper bag. Keep the tomato slices warm in a 300 degree oven while frying the rest of the green tomatoes.
