Slice tomatoes 1\/2 inch thick.<\/li>\n<li>Whisk eggs, milk, and sugar together in a medium-size bowl.<\/li>\n<li>Pour flour onto a plate.<\/li>\n<li>Mix cornmeal, salt, pepper, paprika on another plate.<\/li>\n<li>Coat tomatoes in flour then coat in the egg mixture.<\/li>\n<li>Then dredge in cornmeal to completely coat.<\/li>\n<li>In a large skillet (I use an iron skillet), pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1\/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over a medium heat.<\/li>\n<li>Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side.<\/li>\n<li>Drain them on paper towels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong>: Feeling lazy? Batter the tomatoes instead: Prepare pancake mix (from a box). Dust the sliced tomatoes in flour, dip into pancake mix, and fry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/friedgreentomatoes3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-2192\" title=\"friedgreentomatoes3\" src=\"https:\/\/edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/friedgreentomatoes3-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/friedgreentomatoes3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/friedgreentomatoes3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/friedgreentomatoes3-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/friedgreentomatoes2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-2193\" title=\"friedgreentomatoes2\" src=\"https:\/\/edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/friedgreentomatoes2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/friedgreentomatoes2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/friedgreentomatoes2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/10\/friedgreentomatoes2-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was on vacation recently and decided to go back to my southern roots.
