Ranch Fried Green Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup white cornmeal
• 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup vegetable oil, or as needed
• 1 green tomato, cut into 1/4-inch slices

Directions

Whisk egg and milk together in a bowl. Mix cornmeal, ranch dip mix, black pepper, and salt in a separate bowl.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Oil should be about 1/2 inch deep.

Dip tomato slices in egg mixture; coat each slice with the cornmeal mixture. Place tomatoes in the hot oil; fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt and black pepper.
