Bread the Tomatoes
Dip each tomato slice first in the flour, then in the buttermilk, and finally coat it with the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.

Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

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