FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES
These were so yummy! I didn't want to stop eating. Need to start preparing 1/2 - 1 hour before eating. Found in Taste of Home 2006 Contest Winning Cookbook pg. 141.

3 medium green tomatoes, sliced 1/4" thick
salt
----
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 T flour
3/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/8 tsp pepper
----
1 egg, beaten
---
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Lightly sprinkle tomatoes with salt; drain on paper towels for 30-60 minutes. Meanwhile combine the next six ingredients in a shallow bowl or plate. Dip each tomato slice into egg, then cornmeal mixture.

In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Fry tomatoes, a few at a time, for 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towel-lined wire rack (or plate). Serve immediately.
