Ultimate Fried Green Tomato Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup yellow cornmeal
• 6 (1/4 inch thick) slices green tomato
• 0.25 cup cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 slices sourdough bread
• 6 (1/4 inch thick) slices red tomato
• 2 slices pepperjack cheese
• 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno slices

Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk the egg. Place cornmeal in a separate bowl. Dip each green tomato slice into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off. Then, press the tomato into the cornmeal, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Shake off any excess cornmeal. Arrange the coated green tomato slices on a plate, making sure they don't overlap.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Carefully add the coated green tomato slices to the hot oil. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fried green tomatoes and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, then return it to medium heat.
3. Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. Place two bread slices in the skillet, butter-side down. On each bread slice in the skillet, layer three slices of fried green tomato, three slices of red tomato, one slice of pepper Jack cheese, and one tablespoon of jalapeño slices. Top each stack with the remaining two bread slices, butter-side up. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the sandwiches and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
