Fried Green Tomatoes Directions
- 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, mix the flour with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal.

Bread the Tomatoes
Dip each tomato slice first into the flour mixture, then into the buttermilk mixture, and finally into the cornmeal, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- 5
Fry the Tomatoes
Carefully add the breaded tomato slices to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Drain and Serve
Remove the fried tomatoes from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
