Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fried Green Tomatoes

    Slice green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Dredge each slice in cornmeal, dip in buttermilk, and then coat with flour. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the tomatoes until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread pimento cheese generously on two slices of wheat bread. Top with fried green tomato slices, then cover with the remaining slices of bread.

  3. 3

    Grill the Sandwich

    Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the assembled sandwiches. Grill until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove from skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
