Fried Green Tomato Sandwich

Created by: Howcan Team

Ingredients

  • 4 large green tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 8 slices of bread
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Mayonnaise
  • Sliced bacon (optional)

Instructions

  • In a shallow dish, mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  • Dip each tomato slice into the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Next, dip the floured tomato slices into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
  • Coat the tomato slices with the cornmeal, pressing gently to adhere.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1/2 cup of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the coated tomato slices in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • If using bacon, cook until crispy in a separate skillet and set aside.
  • To assemble the sandwiches, spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread. Place a layer of lettuce leaves on 4 slices of bread.
  • Top with the fried green tomato slices and bacon if using, then cover with the remaining slices of bread.
  • Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Southern

The fried green tomato sandwich has its roots in Southern cuisine, where green tomatoes are a staple. This iconic dish gained popularity in the 1991 film "Fried Green Tomatoes," sparking a nationwide craze. Chefs like Paula Deen and Emeril Lagasse have put their own spin on this classic, elevating it to a gourmet level. The dish is a harmonious blend of tangy, crispy green tomatoes, creamy mayonnaise, and hearty bread. The best versions can be found in Southern restaurants, particularly in Georgia and Alabama. The key to a perfect fried green tomato sandwich lies in the crispy coating and the freshness of the green tomatoes. For a twist, some chefs add bacon or pimento cheese, creating a mouthwatering alternative.
