Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe tomatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 whole eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to create the dredging mixture.
In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers but isn’t smoking.
Dip each tomato slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated, then press it into the flour and cornmeal mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
Carefully place the coated tomato slices into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried tomato slices to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Garnish with fresh oregano leaves for a bright, herby finish and serve immediately. Enjoy your Summer Fried Tomatoes with Oregano!
