Southern Fried BLT image

I'm really not big on tomatoes-but I do like them green and fried, so I decided to try them in a sandwich. It was a smash! If you've gotta have cheese, add sharp cheddar to this indulgent twist on the traditional BLT. -Stacy King, Rome, Georgia

I'm gluten-free so I used gluten-free bread. The sandwiches were still delicious!

I'm a vegetarian so I used tempeh bacon instead of regular bacon. It was still really good!

I'm not sure what I did wrong but my tomatoes didn't come out crispy at all.

I didn't have any buttermilk so I used regular milk instead. It still turned out great!

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some garlic powder and onion powder to the breading.

I had a hard time finding bacon that was thick enough. I ended up using two slices of regular bacon for each sandwich.

This recipe was a bit too greasy for my taste. Next time I'll try baking the tomatoes instead of frying them.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise so I used a spicy aioli sauce instead. It was a great substitute!

OMG! This was absolutely delicious. I didn't have any tomatoes on hand, so I used a few slices of avocado instead. It was still amazing!
