Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick rounds and place on paper towels to absorb moisture.
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create the egg wash. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sugar until well combined.
- Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers around 350°F.
- Dredge each tomato slice in the egg wash and then in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Fry the tomato slices in batches for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried tomato slices and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Mix mayonnaise with desired seasonings in a small jar and shake until combined.
- Lightly toast bread slices, spread the creamy sauce, layer lettuce, fried tomatoes, and bacon, and serve immediately.
