Jaska, who has been processing TONS of tomatoes for us turned us on to this recipe.

The recipe author notes, “The resulting Parmesan was tangier than the eggplant version and had a firmer texture. Unlike eggplant or ripe tomatoes, green tomatoes don’t break down very much during cooking, so they are a bit more like meat.“

3 to 4 firm large green tomatoes, cored

Salt & Pepper

1/3 cup milk

1/3 cup flour

1 large egg, beaten

olive or canola oil

1 cup bread crumbs

2 cups tomato sauce

1 cup Parmesan

Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 350°F

Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high.  Bread the tomato slices by dipping them into the coating ingredients in the following order: milk, flour, egg, bread crumbs. Fry each slice for 4 to 5 minutes per side. When done, place in a single layer to cover the bottom of a 9″ x 13″ oven-proof pan. Cover with tomato sauce.  Sprinkle with parmesan. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes or until the tomatoes are done to your liking.
