I’m on a southern kick this week. I do love the South. A Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe is a staple in the south and they are one of my favorite things to eat. This recipe is easy and done in minutes. You’ll be enjoying some fried green tomatoes in no time at all.
Truthfully, we’ve been eating these because my 2 years old can’t wait for our tomatoes to turn red. He just picks the green ones for the fun of picking something out of the garden.

Ingredients you’ll need:
- 3 large green tomatoes from the garden – sliced
- 1 cup of flour – all-purpose
- 2 eggs whipped
- 1/2 cup of buttermilk
- 1 cup of Garlic Bread Crumbs – If you can’t find Progresso, try to find another brand with a garlic flavor – so yummy
- Â 1/2 tsp. of salt
- 1/2 cup of cornmeal
- Oil (about 1/4 cup) for the frying pan
- Sliced green tomatoes
Now, here’s what you’ll want to do:
- Get your oil heated up enough to fry the tomatoes (Med-High heat). Test it with a little piece of tomato – if it sizzles, it’s ready
- Start an assembly line –
- Pour your flour onto a plate
- Keep the eggs in a separate bowl and stir in buttermilk
- Fill another bowl with garlic bread crumbs. cornmeal and salt – mix
- Coat tomatoes on each side with flour,
- dip the tomatoes into the egg, then into the bread,
- then place them into the frying pan
- Turn them once the bottoms have turned golden. Let both sides turn golden. They’re done.
- Drain on a paper towel
