  • 3-4 fresh green tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup corn starch
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk or dairy-free milk avoid any with strong flavors
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup Panko seasoned or plain, your preference

  4. Heat frying pan with some of the oil.

  5. Dip sliced tomato into cornstarch.

  6. Then dip same sliced tomato into egg and milk mixture.

  7. Finish that slice by dipping it into the cornmeal and Panko mixture.

  8. Gently place tomato slice into frying pan. Repeat with other slices until pan is fairly full. Be sure to keep space in between each slice to maneuver tongs and allow oil to flow as you may need to add more.
