Fried Green Tomato Melt Recipe

Fried Green Tomato Melt Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Garlic Aioli

   In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

2. 2

   Prepare the Green Tomatoes

   Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Breading the Tomatoes

   Set up a breading station: Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and cornmeal in a third. Dredge each tomato slice in flour, dip in egg, and coat with cornmeal.

4. 4

   Fry the Tomatoes

   In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded tomato slices until golden brown on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Assemble the Melt

   Butter one side of each sourdough slice. On the non-buttered side, layer white cheddar cheese, fried green tomatoes, mixed greens, goat cheese, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Top with another slice of sourdough.

6. 6

   Grill the Sandwich

   In the same skillet, grill the sandwich over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

7. 7

   Serve

   Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve warm with garlic aioli on the side.
