Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Green Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. In a bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Coat the Tomatoes

    Dip each slice of tomato in buttermilk, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture until fully coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Tomatoes

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the coated tomato slices until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet, cook the applewood bacon until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the Texas toast slices. Spread pimento cheese on one slice, layer with fried green tomatoes, bacon, lettuce, and guacamole. Top with another slice of Texas toast.

  6. 6

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately, enjoying the layers of flavor.
