Ingredients

6 (1/4 inch thick) slices green tomato

1 egg, beaten

1 cup yellow cornmeal

0.25 cup cooking oil

2 tablespoons butter

4 slices sourdough bread

6 (1/4 inch thick) slices red tomato

2 slices pepperjack cheese

2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno slices

Directions

Dip green tomato slices into beaten egg, letting excess drip off. Press into cornmeal to coat both sides; shake off excess.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot; add coated green tomato slices. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.

Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel; place over medium heat. Spread butter onto one side of each bread slice. Place 2 bread slices, butter-sides-down, into skillet. Stack 3 slices fried green tomato, 3 slices red tomato, 1 slice pepper Jack cheese, and 1 tablespoon jalapeño slices onto each bread slice in the skillet. Top with remaining bread slices, butter-sides-up.

Cook until bottom is golden. Flip sandwiches; cook until golden brown on other side.
