Oven-Fried Green Tomato and Pimento Cheese Sandwich

Oven-Fried Green Tomato

and Pimento Cheese Sandwich

I'm not going to lie and say something about this being "healthy", because let's face it: If anything resembles a BLT, it's not going in the diet section in food descriptions. I figured it would be better to take one small part of this dish though and lighten it up. It is good to know all the health benefits of Green Tomatoes!

I made this recipe for my girlfriend, Lisa. After a girls' night when a good southern girl brought @Palmetto Brand Pimento Cheese, she became addicted to all pimento cheese. We started to have it every week when we got together, and have definitely completed an array of taste tests; Palmetto, Ruth's, Three Sisters, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, and homemade.

This was our favorite brand, but recently I found the Bacon Pimento Cheese, and I have to say, it's phenomenal!!! If you ever see it, you have to buy it (or get it shipped. Palmetto Cheese - The Pimento Cheese Company )

So go out, stay out too late, and make this sandwich the next morning. (We certainly loved it for Sunday brunch.)

(of course, feel free to eat any extra pimento cheese. yummmmm!)
