Ingredients

- Thick-cut bread (sourdough or Texas toast)
- Crisp iceberg or romaine lettuce
- Mayonnaise
- Flour
- Cornmeal
- Salt
- Pepper
- Cayenne pepper
- Egg (or flaxseed egg for vegan option)

Instructions
- Prepare the tomatoes by slicing them into 1/4-inch rounds and lightly salting them to draw out moisture.
- Set up a dredging station: combine flour with salt, pepper, and cayenne in one dish; whisk an egg (or flaxseed egg) in another; and mix cornmeal with salt and pepper in a third.
- Dredge each tomato slice in flour, dip it in the egg wash, then coat it with cornmeal.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the tomato slices until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- In the same skillet, cook beef bacon until crispy.
- Assemble the sandwich by toasting bread, spreading mayonnaise on one side of each slice, layering lettuce, fried green tomatoes, and beef bacon.
- Serve immediately while hot.
