Terrific, great, fantastic!!!! I used a mixture butter and peanut oil, as needed, in the pan to fry the slices. The lemon pepper was wondeful with the green tomato, great combination. I also liked using the addition of flour with the cornmeal. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

It was my first time making f.g.t.'s and thought the recipe turned out great. I used my cast iron skillet which I thought contributed to the nice crispiness. I would use this recipe again but consider dipping the tomatoes in egg white first. I also used it to fry zucchini and it turned out great.
