Servings
Ingredients
0.5 cup canola oil
0.5 cup yellow cornmeal
0.25 cup whole wheat flour
0.5 tsp kosher salt
0.25 tsp black pepper , freshly ground
5 Tomatoes, green, fresh, whole, small , cut into 1/2 inch slices
6 eggs
2 scallions , white and light green parts
3 fresh basil leaves , cut into thin strips


Directions
1 Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in oil and heat for frying.
2 Mix the cornmeal, flour, salt, and pepper in a zip top plastic bag. Place a few tomato slices in the bag, seal the bag, and shake. Make sure all tomatoes are covered.
3 Lay the tomatoes in the hot oil and fry on each side for 1 to 2 minutes. They should be lightly brown.
4 Move the fried tomatoes onto a paper towel lined plate. Repeat process until all tomatoes are fried.
5 Whisk together eggs, scallions, and basil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reserve.
6 After the tomatoes are fried, dump out most of the oil leaving a thin layer on the bottom.
7 Heat the skillet on medium heat and position the fried tomatoes in a single layer around the skillet. Spoon the egg mixture over the tomatoes and let cook for 1 minute. Make sure egg mix is covering all the tomatoes.
8 Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. The bottom of the frittata should be slightly browned, the top may still be soft.
9 Release the frittata with a spatula and slide onto a plate.
10 Lay the skillet over the plate and turn the plate upside down so the frittata is in the skillet brown side up. Place back over medium-low heat for 2 minutes. Move frittata to a serving platter and cut into wedges. Serve warm.
