slice the green tomatoes about a 1/4 inch thick, dip in egg/buttermilk mixture, then in the bread crumbs. Fry in a scant 4 oz. of olive oil (not extra virgin). drain on paper towels.
serve as is, or garnish with one table spoon crab louie on each slice.

I would substitute cornmeal for the breadcrumbs, and replace the parmesean with garlic powder. That'll give it a more authentic southern flavor. Real southern cooks would fry it in bacon grease, but I agree that some kind of vegetable oil would be alright.
I like mine served with hot sauce and lemon.
