FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

Steps:

• First, cut your tomatoes at 1/8 inch and lay out to dry -- I lay down paper towel and then place tomatoes on a cooling rack and then layer more paper towels on top. THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT!
• While tomatoes are drying, mix together flour, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and cayenne pepper.
• Dip tomatoes slices into egg and milk mixture and then coat with flour and seasoning mixture.
• Place in a hot skillet with oil and fry for about 3 minutes on both sides or until browned.
• I usually place them back on the cooling rack so they don't get soggy when they are finished.
• Serve immediately!
