Cornmeal Crusted Vine Ripened Tomatoes with Green Hill Cheese

Green Hill Cheese is a soft, ripened cow's milk cheese made by Thomasville, GA based Sweet Grass Dairy. It's one of my favorites! This works well with vine ripened or green tomatoes.

Cornmeal Crusted Vine Ripened Tomatoes with Green Hill Cheese
2 tomatoes, cut into 1/2" slices
1/2 cup corn meal
1 tsp cayenne pepper
salt and pepper
1/2 round of Green Hill cheese, sliced
Fresh parsley for garnish


Heat 2 Tbsp oil in large pan or on a griddle.
Meanwhile pour cornmeal onto a plate and season with cayenne, salt and pepper. Press tomato slice into cornmeal mixture on both sides.
Cook on each side about 3-4 minutes until crisp and brown, turning once.
Top with sliced cheese, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
