Bacon Lettuce and Fried Green Tomato Sandwich

Wow, that is one long title for this tasty sandwich. To end our month of All American recipes I decided to make one of my most favorite sandwiches. The BLT with a definite Southern twist. I replaced the red tomato with a fried green one and it was delicious!

Prep time: United States American
Cook time: Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 medium green tomato, sliced into 8 slices
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 slices bacon, cooked crisp
  • 8 slices bread
  • 4 lettuce leaves
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise

Directions

  1. Heat approximately 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat until oil is hot. Slice the tomato in slices that are thin enough to yield 6-8 slices. Pat dry with a paper towel. In a pie plate mix the flour and salt and pepper. Dredge the tomato slices in the flour so that both sides are liberally covered. Place the tomato slices in the pan and brown until crispy on both sides. While you are cooking the tomatoes cook the bacon slices in either the microwave or in another pan until they are crispy. Toast your bread.
  2. To assemble your sandwich place the ingredients in this order: Take the 4 tablespoons mayonnaise and divide it into 1 tablespoon servings and spread on 4 slices of bread. Place the 1 lettuce leaf, 2 fried green tomato slices, 2 slices of bacon on each piece of bread. Top with the remaining bread. Now dig in and enjoy. Makes 4 sandwiches.
