These are just delicious. Make sure you get green tomatoes (unripe) for this. Green tomatoes have a nice tang to them and have less juices which make them firmer and better for frying. You will have to get close to a sizzling pan in this but if you are comfortable with that and want something as a side for a dinner for two or just as a savoury snack, these are your man.(Well, tomato.)

Ingredients:

- 1-3 large green tomatoes washed (depending on how many you want to feed)

-1 large egg beaten

-1 cup of store bought seasoned bread crumbs (crushed ritz crackers work as well)

*-sometimes I like adding a shake of salt and pepper to the breadcrumbs for extra flavour.

Instructions: 

- Slice tomatoes thinly (if they look too thick it's ok, they don't need to be paper thin, just a centimeter or two, if you sliced the tomato in half and that's your slice, then we have a problem)

-Beat the egg in a small bowl, and put the breadcrumbs in a separate, shallow bowl.

-Dip the tomato slices egg first then breadcrumbs (so they stick) 

- Drizzle a small amount of vegetable oil in a medium frying pan and turn the stovetop to medium high heat.

-When the oil heats up place tomatoes (as many as can be fit, preferably with some space between them) in frying pan and fry until both sides are a toasty brown.

-serve warm and enjoy!
