Feeds: 4 | Cook Time: 15 mins | Prep Time: 15 mins | Total Time: 30 mins | Cook Temp: 350–375°F


Ingredients

  • 2 large fresh green tomatoes

  • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup Slow Noon Seasoning

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup whole milk or buttermilk

  • ½ cup yellow cornmeal

  • ½ cup breadcrumbs

  • 8 ounces vegetable oil, for frying


Instructions

  1. Slice and season: Slice your green tomatoes into ¼-inch thick slices. Pat them dry (nobody likes soggy). Sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. Flour power: In a shallow bowl, mix flour with Slow Noon Seasoning. This is where the flavor flirtation begins.

  3. Egg bath: In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Get ready to dunk those tomato slices like a pro.

  4. Crunch combo: Combine cornmeal and breadcrumbs in a third bowl. The crunch factor is non-negotiable.

  5. Coat, dip, coat: Dredge tomato slices in flour mixture, dip in egg, then coat with cornmeal-breadcrumb mix. Press gently to make sure every inch is covered.

  6. Fry time: Heat oil in a skillet to 350–375°F. Fry tomatoes 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Don’t overcrowd the pan—these tomatoes need their personal space.

  7. Drain & serve: Lay slices on paper towels or a wire rack. Serve warm with Comeback Sauce or your favorite dip.


Tips & Notes

  • Best eaten fresh, but leftovers can chill in the fridge up to 2 days. Reheat in oven or air fryer to bring back the crisp.

  • Feeling feisty? Add a pinch of cayenne to the flour mixture for a mild “kick me, I’m spicy” vibe.

  • Fry in batches to avoid a soggy mess—your crispy dreams are worth it.
