Fried Green Tomato BLT Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fried Green Tomatoes

    Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. In a bowl, soak the slices in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix the cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Fry the Tomatoes

    Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge each tomato slice in the cornmeal mixture, ensuring it is well-coated. Fry the tomato slices until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet or a separate pan, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Make the Spicy Remoulade

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, hot sauce, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble the BLT

    Toast the bread slices. Spread a generous amount of spicy remoulade on each slice. Layer with lettuce, slices of tomato, fried green tomatoes, and crispy bacon. Top with another slice of bread, cut in half, and serve.
