Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Green tomatoes
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 8 Bacon slices
- 8 slices Sandwich bread (toasted)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 4 Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Dip each tomato slice into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the flour mixture to coat evenly.
Carefully place the coated tomato slices into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Transfer cooked tomatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Toast the sandwich bread slices until golden.
Spread mayonnaise evenly onto one side of each toasted bread slice.
Assemble each sandwich by layering two fried green tomato slices, two pieces of bacon, and a lettuce leaf onto four of the bread slices. Top each with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Southern-inspired Fried Green Tomato BLT!
