Fried Green Tomatoes

Poached Eggs

Remoulade Sauce

Hollandaise Sauce

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices. In a shallow dish, combine cornmeal, flour, salt, and black pepper. In another dish, pour buttermilk.

  2. 2

    Fry the Tomatoes

    Dip each tomato slice in buttermilk, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the tomato slices until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

Poached Eggs

  1. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a simmer and add white vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until whites are set and yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Remoulade Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the Remoulade

    In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, lemon juice, capers, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Hollandaise Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Hollandaise

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and lemon juice. Place over a pot of simmering water and whisk until frothy. Gradually drizzle in melted butter, whisking continuously until thickened. Season with salt.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Benedict

    Toast the English muffins and place a fried green tomato slice on each half. Top with a poached egg, drizzle with hollandaise, and add remoulade. Serve with breakfast potatoes or creamy cheddar grits and bacon if desired.
