4 medium green tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick

In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, and pepper. In another dish, whisk together eggs and buttermilk. In a third dish, combine cornmeal, breadcrumbs, and paprika.
Dredge each tomato slice in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the cornmeal mixture.
