Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Green tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 6 slices Bacon
- 4 slices Bread (white or sourdough)
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 leaves Lettuce
Instructions
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds and sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with buttermilk, and one with cornmeal.
Dip each tomato slice into the flour, then the buttermilk, and finally the cornmeal, ensuring an even coating at each step.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Fry the coated tomato slices in batches, 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Cook the bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Place on paper towels to drain excess grease.
Toast the bread slices lightly in a toaster or skillet.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.
To assemble, layer 2 fried green tomato slices, 3 slices of bacon, and 1 lettuce leaf on top of the mayonnaise-coated side of 2 bread slices. Top with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Fried Green Tomato and Bacon Sandwich!
