Fried Green Tomatoes Ingredients

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes Directions

1

Prepare the tomatoes

Wash the green tomatoes and slice them into 1/2-inch thick slices.

2

Set up the breading station

In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour mixed with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.

3

Bread the tomatoes

Dip each tomato slice first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with cornmeal, pressing to adhere.

4

Fry the tomatoes

In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded tomato slices in batches and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

5

Drain and serve

Remove the fried tomatoes from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
