Happy Friday!  We made it to the 3-day weekend.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day and one last hurrah for summer.  Maybe enjoy this recipe for the festivities??!!

PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES

READY IN: 20 MINUTES

YIELDS: 15 SLICES

INGREDIENTS:

3 green tomatoes

3 cups corn meal

3 large eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

pepper to taste

salt to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Slice tomatoes into 1/4 inch slices and set aside.  Crack eggs and blend together in bowl.  In a separate bowl, mix together corn meal, salt and pepper.  ***Only use a pinch of salt, I made the mistake my first go around of using too much and it tasted like we were eating salt cubes.***  Heat oil in medium skillet until almost boiling.  Slice by slice, coat in egg, then drag in corn meal mixture and set in hot oil to fry.  Cook on each side about 2 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove from oil and place on paper towel to drain.  Repeat until all slices are fried and ENJOY!
