Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Salt and freshly ground pepper

2 large eggs, beaten

1/3 cup plain dry bread crumbs

1/3 cup cornmeal

1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 pound green tomatoes sliced 1/2-inch thick

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

generous sprinkling of white pepper

Crème fraîche with chopped chives for serving

Garnish with basil leaves

Directions

In a medium bowl, season the flour with salt and pepper.

Put the eggs in another medium bowl and toss the bread crumbs and grated Parmesan in a third bowl.

Dredge the tomato slices in the flour/cornmeal/bread crumbs/white pepper mixture, then coat them in the egg, letting any excess drip back into the bowl.

Coat in the bread crumbs, pressing to help them adhere.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering.

Add the breaded tomatoes in a single layer and cook them over moderately high heat, turning once, until deeply golden and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes.

Transfer the tomato slices to paper towel—lined plates.

Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately with Crème fraîche drizzle and a basil sprig, nice with a few of the basil flowers and tender leaves.

Variations: Instead of white pepper use Old Bay Seasoning.

Are these "Green Tomatoes" or unripened Red tomatoes.
I Grow Green Tomatoes that are still green when ripe.

Trigger, the "green tomatoes" we use are truly "green" or un-ripened ones. That's where the firmness and tang comes from is the firm green-ish red. I like to use the ones that are somewhere between green and red--they're not quite so bitterish-tangy. Hope this helps,
--Kn0x-- (in other words, unripened reds. try them with just a tad bit of red to them--mostly still green)

I hope it rains here soon. Then I will pick my greenish red tomatos right before it freezes so I can make these. My plants just want to be done because of the drought. L.
