Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create the Fried Green Tomato BLT Sandwich:
1. Prepare the Tomatoes: Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal.
3. Coat the Tomatoes: Dip each tomato slice into the flour mixture, then into the eggs, and finally coat with cornmeal.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
5. Fry the Tomatoes: Carefully place the coated tomato slices into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. Cook the Bacon: In another skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.
7. Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the slices of bread in the same skillet used for the bacon for added flavor.
8. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread. Layer with lettuce, fried green tomatoes, and bacon.
9. Top and Serve: Place another slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich. Cut in half and serve immediately.
