Fried Green Tomato BLT

Cut unpeeled tomatoes into 1/4 inch slices. Sprinkle slices with salt and pepper. Let tomato slices stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place flour, milk, eggs, and bread crumbs in separate shallow dishes. Note: I added a 1/4 teaspoon of salt and pepper to the breadcrumbs or cornmeal. Obviously, this is optional, but highly recommended.

While tomatoes are resting, fry up the bacon in a cast iron skillet or pan. Remove when done and place on paper towels to drain.

Dip tomato slices in milk, then flour, then eggs, then bread crumbs. In the skillet (where you fried up the bacon), fry half of the coated tomato slices at a time, for 2-4 minutes on each side or until brown. After they’re done, remove and place on a paper towel to drain.

Put slices of bread in the toaster and toast to your liking. Remove and assemble sandwich with mayonnaise, butter lettuce, bacon and fried green tomatoes. Cut in half and eat. Yes!
