Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

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

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

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

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dip each tomato slice first into the flour mixture, then the buttermilk mixture, and finally coat with cornmeal.

  4. 4

    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. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried tomatoes from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with creamy jalapeno ranch and drizzle with Primo pepper honey.
