Fried Green Tomato BLTs

Now that you know how to make fried green tomatoes, I am going to teach you a variation that has been the summer brunch all-star this year: fried green tomato BLTs.

What you need:
Green tomatoes (1 or 2)
Flour
Egg
Cornmeal
Parmesan cheese (the kind in the green can)
Salt and pepper
Bacon
Lettuce
A crusty baked bread from the bakery (I use the french loaves)
Mayo, if you want to put that on your finished sandwich

First, you take some bacon and cook it in the oven. It is better that way. Crisp, and not greasy. Plus I sprinkle brown sugar and pepper on it, and it gives the sandwich a little extra something.

Heat oven to 350. Lay slices of bacon on broiler pan. Sprinkle brown sugar and pepper on top of the slices.

Bake about 30 minutes or until it's brown and cooked. You might flip it once during the cooking, but be careful of the grease in the bottom of the broiler pan.

While the bacon is cooking in the oven, fry up your tomatoes. Pretty much follow the recipe I gave you before, with a slight variation. Put just salt on the tomato slices and stir a little pepper and parmesan cheese in with the cornmeal.

Toast good, thick slices of the french bread. I find they are too big for a regular toaster, so either use a toaster oven or pop them in the other rack of the oven with the bacon.

When everything is done, put a couple slices of bacon and tomatoes with some lettuce and mayo on the toasted bread.

Enjoy!
