Grilled Pimento Cheese Sandwich With Bacon and Fried Green Tomatoes

A grilled pimento cheese sandwich with bacon and fried green tomatoes? Absolutely!

I can’t remember when we started making this or what gave us the idea for this combination, but it is one you have GOT to try.

This sandwich is decadent. It’s not healthy at all.

But it tastes like summer and is about as southern as it can possibly be. Pimento cheese spread on two pieces of sourdough bread with bacon and fried green tomatoes and then all of that is grilled with butter in a skillet.

Seriously. Seriously delicious.

Here is my favorite recipe for homemade pimento cheese but you can also use the Palmetto brand if you don’t have time to make your own.

If you have an iron skillet to cook this in it is even better! I adore my Smithey skillet, but there are less expensive options that are also great.
