Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Green tomatoes
- 1 large Zucchini
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cup Marinara sauce
- 5 large Fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and lightly sprinkle with salt on both sides. Let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In another bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper.
Dip each green tomato slice into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture to coat all sides.
Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tomato slices in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Brush the pizza dough with olive oil, then spread an even layer of marinara sauce over the surface.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the marinara. Then, arrange the fried green tomatoes in a single layer on top of the cheese.
Using a vegetable peeler, create thin ribbons of zucchini and scatter them across the pizza.
Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the zucchini and add fresh basil leaves for an aromatic touch.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it sit for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve. Enjoy the crunchy, tangy, and cheesy goodness!
