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
Directions
Step 1
Wash the tomatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to create the dredging mixture.
Step 3
In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers but isn’t smoking.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried tomato slices to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh oregano leaves for a bright, herby finish and serve immediately. Enjoy your Summer Fried Tomatoes with Oregano!
