Prep and cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
4 large green tomatoes
1/2 cup buttermilk

Step 2: Cut tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices.
Step 3: Whisk eggs and buttermilk together in a large bowl.
Step 4: Put your flower on one plate. Mix cornmeal, salt and pepper on another plate.
Step 5: Coat your tomato slices in flour.
Step 6: Dip the slices into the egg and buttermilk mixture. Then coat them in the cornmeal mixture.
