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
Directions
Step 1
Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 5
Dip each tomato slice into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the flour mixture to coat evenly.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a separate skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 8
Toast the sandwich bread slices until golden.
Step 9
Spread mayonnaise evenly onto one side of each toasted bread slice.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your Southern-inspired Fried Green Tomato BLT!
