Instructions
Slice stems off green tomatoes and cut into about 1/4-inch slices.
In different bowls, stir together flour with all the spices, whisk together eggs and milk, and stir together breadcrumbs and cornmeal.
Working with a few tomato slices at a time, dust in the flour, then move to the egg, and finally coat in the breadcrumb and cornmeal mixture.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot (a small amount of breadcrumbs dropped in should sizzle immediately).
Fry breaded green tomatoes for about 3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove tomatoes and let drain on a few paper towels. Season immediately with a little extra kosher salt. Repeat with all tomato slices.
Serve fried green tomatoes with ranch dressing.
