--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1       lb           Firm green tomatoes (approx)
                       Cornmeal or flour
  6                    Eggs
  3       tb           Chopped scallions
  3                    Basil leaves
                       - torn or finely sliced
                       Salt
                       Freshly ground pepper

 SLICE THE TOMATOES into rounds a little less than
 1/2-inch thick and dredge them in the cornmeal or
 flour. Heat enough oil in a 10-inch nonstick pan to
 cover the surface lightly and fry the tomatoes briefly
 on each side, until they are lightly colored. Do not
 let them get soft. Lightly beat the eggs with the
 scallions and basil and season them with salt and
 pepper. Pour them over the tomatoes. Let the eggs sit
 for about a minute, then give the pan a shake to
 loosen the bottom. Cook over medium-low heat until the
 eggs are nicely colored on the bottom, then slide the
 frittata out onto a large plate. Place the pan over
 it, invert and return it to the heat to cook the other
 side. Turn the frittata out onto a serving plate and
 serve, hot or tepid, cut into wedges.
