Fried Green Tomato Blt Recipe

Fried Green Tomato BLT Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Fried Green Tomatoes

   Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. In a shallow dish, mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, and black pepper. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. Dip each tomato slice first in the egg mixture, then in the flour mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

2. 2

   Fry the Tomatoes

   In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated tomato slices and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

3. 3

   Cook the Bacon

   In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and let it drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Make the Smoked Paprika Aioli

   In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and smoked paprika. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

5. 5

   Assemble the BLT

   Toast the slices of bread. On each slice, spread a layer of smoked paprika aioli, then layer with lettuce, fried green tomatoes, and crispy bacon. Top with another slice of bread, cut in half, and serve.
