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!
