Ingredients

3 or 4 large firm green tomatoes
Salt
2 cups vegetable or peanut oil, for deep-frying
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups self-rising flour
6 slices bacon, cut in half and cooked until crisp
6 eggs, poached
Hollandaise sauce, recipe follows

Directions

Slice the tomatoes 1/4-inch thick. Lay them out in a shallow baking pan and sprinkle with salt. Place the tomato slices in a colander and allow time for the salt to pull the water out of the tomatoes, approximately 30 minutes. In a skillet, heat the oil for deep-frying over medium high heat. Dip the tomatoes into buttermilk, then dredge them in flour. Deep-fry until golden brown. Keep warm.

Meanwhile, prepare Hollandaise Sauce.

To assemble each serving, place 2 fried tomatoes on a plate. Top with 2 strips of cooked bacon in a criss-cross fashion. Top bacon with a poached egg, spoon on Hollandaise Sauce.

Hollandaise Sauce:

2 egg yolks

4 tablespoons cream

2 large tablespoons butter

1/2 lemon, juiced

Pinch salt

Pinch sugar

Chicken broth, optional

1 tablespoon white vinegar

Combine all ingredients in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water. Stir until thick, approximately 3 minutes; set aside until ready to use. Do not reheat or cover the pot. Thin, if needed with a little chicken broth. Stir in the vinegar.

First made Feb 17 2007. Great recipe. People from Kentucky get fussy when it comes to fried green tomatoes. This one is... great and can be served to any guest.Read more

My family LOVED this for brunch. It is requested every time my in-laws come to visit. We had Paula's Shrimp and Grits the... day before and had some left over gravy and used that as well instead of the hollandaise. It was fabulous!!!!!Read more

Very easy and flavorful. The fried green tomatoes really give this dish that little "extra" flavor.

I have not made this dish but it sounds delicious. I had to comment on the stupid review from uneducated Kelly from Spokane... (allergic has two L's Einstein). I don't care that you found out that you were allergic to eggs, what does that have to do with Paula or the recipe? Is it her fault you are so stupid?Read more
