Ingredients
  

  • 3 green tomatoes cut into slices
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup oil for frying
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 to 2 pounds thick-cut bacon cooked
  • lettuce
  • 12 pieces high-quality white bread
  • 1/2 cup Duke's mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
  • 2 teaspoons pickle juice
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons grated horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cajun or creole spice mix
  • 4 dashes hot sauce

Method
 

  1. Prepare the sauce by combining Duke's mayonnaise, spicy brown mustard, pickle juice, grated horseradish, paprika, cajun spice mix, and hot sauce in a bowl. Mix well until evenly blended.
  2. Slice the green tomatoes into thick rounds. In one bowl, whisk together milk and egg. In another bowl, mix cornmeal, flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne spice, and sugar. Dip each tomato slice in the milk mixture and then coat with the cornmeal mixture.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add enough oil to cover the bottom. Fry the coated tomato slices for about 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. Assemble the sandwich by spreading the sauce on two slices of bread, layering with crispy bacon, lettuce, and fried green tomatoes. Top with another slice of bread smeared with sauce and cut in half.
