Fried Green Tomatoes

Slice green tomatoes and place on a parchment lined sheet tray. Lightly sprinkle each tomato slice with a small amount of salt and allow to sit for 30 minutes.

While the tomatoes are being seasoned, combine the eggs and buttermilk in a mixing bowl. Combine all breading ingredients and flour into two more separate mixing bowls.

Once tomatoes are seasoned follow traditional breading method for each slice of tomato: Dredge in flour, dip into egg/buttermilk mixture then coat in breading.

Pitmaster Bryan Shanahan stops by Good Day to make fried green tomatoes. His restaurant, 3 Stacks Smoke & Tap House, reopened last week with a new menu and new management.
