Preparation
Start by preparing the fried green tomatoes. Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and cornmeal. Dip each tomato slice in flour, then eggs, and finally coat with cornmeal. Fry in hot vegetable oil until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Cook the bacon until crispy, then drain excess fat. Toast the bread slices to your liking. Spread a generous layer of Pimiento Cheese Spread on each slice of bread.
Assemble the sandwich by layering lettuce, fried green tomatoes, bacon, and tomato slices. Add Pickle Chips for a tangy crunch. Top with the second slice of bread.
Serving Suggestions
This Fried Green Tomato BLT is best enjoyed immediately while everything is crispy and fresh. Serve with extra Pickle Chips on the side for added flavor. Pair with a cold glass of iced tea or a light beer for a true Southern experience.
