No one in my family liked this dish. Perhaps it's an acquired taste. It was easy enough to make however, I had to double the egg and milk to have enough. I would suggest frying in vegetable oil since olive oil tends to burn easily if it gets too hot.

A good Southern cook knows that OLIVE OIL would drown the flavor of Fried Green Tomatoes! YUK!

OMGOODNESS! I think the cornmeal adds a little crunch to this normally soggy side. I love them this way. This is always how I make fried green tomatoes. I use some salt and pepper, too. Try this: dip the tomato in egg then flour then egg then cornmeal. If desired, add the salt and pepper to the flour. YUMMMMMY!

Wonderful recipe! All I added was salt and pepper, and changed the oil to vegetable cooking oil. I didn't measure it, just poured it in the pan and used what I needed. When I was finished, I addedthe egg/milk mixture to the remaining cornmeal mixture; mixed it into a dough, formed small cakes with it and fried it in the same oil the tomatoes were fried in. YUM! My husband loved it! This was the first, and only recipe I'll ever try. It is perfect!

GREAT....glad to see someone else uses olive oil, much healthier! I added a little onion powder, salt and pepper to my milk/egg mixture for flavor, and half Italian bread crumbs/half corn meal. Very good, the Italian bread crumbs give a bit more flavor. So I guess I made the "Italian Fried Green Tomatoes"...also used zucchini - YUM.

Lose the egg and use milk instead (better yet, buttermilk). Add more seasonings! There is no way 3 tablespoons will give you 1/4 inch of oil in the bottom of a large fry pan, and, as another reviewer mentioned, a good southener would never use olive oil for fried "t'maters". From a transplanted Alabamian...

This recipe needs tweaking for us. I fried one, using Canola Oil, and tasted it, then added garlic salt, onion powder, and garlic pepper to the cornmeal mixture, MUCH better with the additions.

I never "ate" fried green tomatoes until I became an adult. I made your recipe! I offered my boyfriend some and he said, "No!" I ate all 6 slices myself, including the last one in the batch that I sort of bured! Thanks for the quick and easy recipe!

This was good. I added salt and pepper to the flour but it definitely needed more. They were a little bland.
