Fried Green Tomato & Goat Cheese BLT
When tomatoes are plump, red and irresistibly sweet, it’s second nature to slap them between two pieces of bread, a few salty pieces of bacon, and crisp lettuce for the perfect summer BLT. And when they’re not?? You reinvent the BLT with tart green tomatoes and herb-infused goat cheese, and call it a Fried Green Tomato & Goat Cheese BLT.
