Ingredients

0.5 cup bacon grease
0.75 cup cornmeal
0.33 cup all-purpose flour
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
0.25 cup milk
1 egg egg
1 green tomato, cut into 1/4 inch slices

Instructions

Heat a generous amount of bacon grease in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, and black pepper until thoroughly combined. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk milk and egg until well blended.
Dip each tomato slice into the milk mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, press the dipped tomato into the cornmeal mixture, coating evenly on both sides.
Carefully place the coated tomato slices into the hot bacon grease and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Watch carefully and adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
