For years I have used this same idea to cook eggplant slices, and recently I decided to try it on green tomatoes. It worked! Now my family loves them in BLTs. —Jolene Martinelli, Fremont, New Hampshire

Test Kitchen tips
  • Bacon can be included in a healthy diet; just reach for the center-cut variety. It has much less fat and more lean meat.
  • Green tomatoes are simply unripe tomatoes. They have a slight acidic bite to them, and they're a little crunchier than ripe tomatoes.

    Text Ingredients

    Directions

    1. Preheat broiler. Cut tomato into 8 slices, each about 1/4 in. thick. Place egg and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls; mix salt into bread crumbs. Dip tomato slices in egg, then in bread crumb mixture, patting to help adhere.
    2. Place tomato slices on a wire rack set in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan; broil 4-5 in. from heat until golden brown, about 30-45 seconds per side.
    3. Mix mayonnaise, green onions and dill. Layer each of 4 slices of bread with 2 bacon strips, 1 lettuce leaf and 2 tomato slices. Spread mayonnaise mixture over remaining slices of bread; place over top layer.
