This Bacon and Fried Green Tomato Pimento Grilled Cheese is the ultimate comfort food with a Southern twist. Crispy bacon, golden-fried green tomatoes, creamy pimento cheese, and cheddar cheese come together between slices of sourdough bread for a mouthwatering grilled cheese sandwich that will satisfy your cravings.
Ingredients: 4 slices of bacon. 2 large green tomatoes, sliced. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 2 eggs, beaten. 1 cup breadcrumbs. 4 slices of sourdough bread. 1/2 cup pimento cheese spread. 4 slices of cheddar cheese. Butter for grilling. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. In a shallow dish, place the flour. In another dish, place the beaten eggs, and in a third dish, place the breadcrumbs. Dip the green tomato slices into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are well coated. Heat a clean skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet. Fry the tomato slices until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Spread pimento cheese on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the pimento cheese on two of the bread slices. Layer the crispy bacon and fried green tomato slices on the cheddar cheese slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread, pimento cheese side down. Butter the outsides of the sandwiches and grill in a skillet over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet, let cool for a minute, then slice in half diagonally. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Bacon and Fried Green Tomato Pimento Grilled Cheese!
