- In a bowl, whisk together milk and egg. In a large bowl or plate, whisk together flour, cornmeal, seasoned salt, and pepper.
- Dip squash slice into egg mixture and then dip into flour mixture. Make sure to completely coat the squash slice in the flour mixture.
- Pour vegetable oil in large, deep skillet and warm over medium heat. (About 350 degrees.)
- Place coated squash slices in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until turns golden brown.
- Carefully remove squash from oil and and place on a paper towel lined plate and pat off any excess grease.
