Air Fried Green Tomato BLT

I did a poll on my Instagram Stories and asked my Brunchies (the name I fondly use to refer to my Instagram friends who love brunch) to vote on whether my next brunch recipe should be sweet or savory. Whelp, the people have spoken and they requested a savory recipe. So, today I’m sharing an air fried green tomato BLT (bacon lettuce tomato) recipe.

Fried Green Tomato BLT Sandwich

This is not your basic BLT. No ma’am! This sandwich has thick crispy, juicy slices of air-fried green tomatoes, and slices of bacon, (I used turkey bacon because I don’t eat swine, but if you do, that’s your prerogative), fresh Spring mix (my favorite greens) between two slices of fluffy brioche bread. Oh, and the tomatoes are slathered with a flavorful homemade remoulade. Listen, if you’re not ready for a flavor party in your mouth then just skip this air fried tomato BLT. However, if you are, then keep reading. This sandwich is so good, you’ll make it for brunch and then crave another one at dinner time.

Air Fryer Green Tomatoes

.

The best part about this recipe is that I made the “fried” green tomatoes in the air fryer, so I didn’t have to worry about getting popped by hot grease as I was cooking, or fussing over the timing of dipping and frying. However, if you don’t own an air fryer you can still make these tomatoes in the oven or toaster oven. You may have to adjust your cooking time for those appliances. If you don’t own either of those, you can make them on the stove and they will still be delicious, just protect your arms (lol)! There’s a good stovetop fried green tomato recipe here.

Once your bacon and tomatoes are finished and your sauce is prepared, it’s time to assemble this bad boy! I opted not to toast my bread, but do you boo. Place the slices of bacon on the bread, then lettuce, then the tomatoes, slather those tomatoes with that delicious remoulade, then enjoy!
