Ingredients

  • 3 Medium-sized Green Tomatoes, Sliced Into 1/3-inch Slices

  • 1/2 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper

  • Pour vegetable oil into a large cast-iron skillet (approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inches deep).
  • Heat to 375 degrees F. To test the heat, flick a few breadcrumbs into the oil.

  • Lightly beat the eggs in one bowl; set aside.
  • Put the flour in its own bowl; set aside.
  • Combine the breadcrumbs, sea salt, and ground black pepper; set aside.
  • Create a small assembly line next to your skillet, or as close by as you can, so you can dredge your tomato slices and place them in the skillet with less of a mess.
  • Dredge each tomato slice in flour, followed by the egg, followed by the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Carefully place the tomato slices into the hot oil, in batches, cooking for 12 minutes per side or until golden brown on both sides.
  • Remove the golden slices with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels or a rack to drain absorb/drain the oil.
  • Garnish with parsley if desired.
  • Serve hot with dipping sauce of your choice.
  • If serving on their own, sprinkle with a bit of sea salt.
