Fried Green Tomatoes Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Tomatoes

   Wash the green tomatoes and slice them into 1/4 inch thick slices.

   Set Up the Breading Station

   In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

   Bread the Tomatoes

   Dip each tomato slice first in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

   Fry the Tomatoes

   Carefully add the breaded tomato slices to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the fried green tomatoes from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
