Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and sugar. Add the tomatoes and soak for 10 minutes, turning the tomatoes occasionally.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, salt, thyme, and cayenne. Season with pepper. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Lay the bacon in the skillet and cook, turning once, until crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain, reserve the bacon fat in the skillet. Pour the oil into skillet to a depth of 1/2 inch and heat until hot.
- Meanwhile, drain the tomatoes and toss in the cornmeal mixture until well coated. Working in batches if needed, fry the coated tomatoes, turning once, until lightly browned and hot, about 3 minutes the first side, and 2 minutes the second side. Using a slotted spatula or spoon, transfer the tomatoes to a paper-towel lined plate to drain.
- Arrange the fried tomatoes on a platter and crumble the bacon over the top. Serve immediately.

[email protected]I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The tomatoes were soggy and the coating was too thick.

[email protected]These fried green tomatoes were amazing! I've never had them before, but they were so delicious. I loved the crispy coating and the tangy flavor of the tomatoes. I will definitely be making these again soon.
