Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 green tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup oil for frying
  • Lettuce (romaine or iceberg)
  • 12 slices high-quality white bread
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • Crispy chicken or turkey bacon (substitute with preferred alternative)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your batter by combining flour and cornmeal in one bowl, whisking together until blended. In another bowl, whisk the milk and egg until smooth.
  2. Season the sliced tomatoes generously with salt, pepper, cayenne spice, and sugar.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Dip each tomato slice into the egg wash, then coat in the flour-cornmeal mixture.
  5. Fry tomato slices in batches until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
  6. For the sauce, mix mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, horseradish, paprika, and hot sauce in a bowl.
  7. Assemble your sandwich: spread sauce on bread slices, layer fried tomatoes and bacon, add lettuce, and top with another slice of bread.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
