Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the fried green tomatoes:
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
1 cup buttermilk
3 dashes hot sauce
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 to 2 large green tomatoes, ends removed, cut into 4 slices, each 1/2 inch thick
for the sandwich:
2 pieces green leaf lettuce
2 slices red tomato
1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until crisp
2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Fry the green tomatoes:
  • Whisk the cornmeal, flour, garlic and onion powders, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, stir in the buttermilk, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Fill a large Dutch oven or cast-iron skillet with oil to a depth of 1 inch and heat carefully to 350°F. Dip the tomato slices in the buttermilk, then dredge in the cornmeal mixture. Fry until crispy and golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and drain on a wire rack placed over a sheet tray.
  • Assemble the sandwich:
  • Place 1 fried green tomato on a plate and layer with 1 piece lettuce, 1 slice red tomato, half the avocado slices, 2 slices bacon, and 1 tablespoon mayonnaise. Top with another fried green tomato to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make a second sandwich.
