Method
Fried Green Tomatoes Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Tomatoes
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Set Up Breading Station
In one shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour. In a second dish, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. In a third dish, combine the cornmeal, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Breading the Tomatoes
Dredge each slice of tomato in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the buttermilk mixture, then coat with the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the Tomatoes
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded tomato slices in batches, frying until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Drain and Serve
Remove the fried tomatoes from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
