Makes 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 2 large green tomatoes, sliced 1/2 inch thick, 2 slices per sandwich
  • 12 pieces thick sliced bacon, 3 slices per sandwich
  • Lettuce, preferably spring mix (about 1/2 cup per sandwich)
  • Mayonnaise to taste
  • Cornmeal mix for fried green tomatoes
  • Your favorite Remoulade or Comeback sauce
  • Ciabata rolls or another sturdy bread
  • 3 cups blue cheese dressing
iceberg lettuce, crispy bacon, and fried green tomatoes topped with a light dressing on sandwich bread

Directions

To cook bacon: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a ½ sheet pan with parchment paper. Lay bacon slices flat on parchment neatly and closely. Cook for 17 to 19 minutes, until bacon is browned and fat has rendered. Remove pan from oven, and remove bacon to a flat surface to cool and crisp.

To make sandwiches:  Spread bread bottom with mayo. Layer lettuce, bacon slices, and tomato slices on bread. Top with a couple of tablespoons of remoulade if desired, and top with the other bread slice. Cut in half and serve.
