I love these things. :)
Vine ripened tomatoes are sooo good but sometimes I have to pick a few green ones out of the garden for frying.
I slice and season the green tomatoes with salt and pepper.
Make an egg/milk bath.
Place a cup or so of regular flour out onto the table
Combine 1/2 cup of cornmeal and 1/2 cup of flour with 1/2 tsp of garlic powder in a bowl.
Then make a nice pile of panko bread crumbs
I dredge the seasoned sliced tomatoes in flour
dip in the egg wash
then into the cornmeal/flour/garlic mix
and lastly into the panko bread crumbs.
I like LOTs of panko for crunchy fried green tomatoes.. so it worked out better for me when I mixed the panko and the cornmeal/flour mixture together... I poured some of the flour mixture out onto the panko and mixed it up before smooshing onto the tomatoes. :)

served with my smoked jalapeno cornbread stuffed chops and garden goodies.
Not sure if it's legal to have two kinds of tomatoes on one plate but I didn't mind at all at the time. :)
