Tart and spicy chile lime fried green tomato biscuit sandwiches are a sure fire way to enjoy summer produce and switch up your brunch/lunch game. Pan fried chile lime breaded green tomatoes, crispy bacon, lettuce and a little mayo make the perfect little sandwich.

Am I the only one that gets super pumped for the first fried green tomato sandwich of the summer? I am sure many gardeners, my dad included, would be mad at me that I pick their tomatoes too early and don’t give them a chance to ripen.

I care not! I love me some green ‘maters. If you really wanna be daring, add them to your next caprese salad. It really adds a great texture and bite to the sometimes predictable salad. In my humble opinion.

Speaking of fried green tomatoes, how much do you love that movie?

It is one of my favorite movies. I love when Kathy Bates rams that car that cuts her off and steals her spot in the parking lot. TOWANDA!!!!

If you haven’t seen the movie yet, I highly recommend changing that post haste.

Mike tried to tell me that this movie was a love story between Ruth and Idgie. I got a little mad at him. First off, when was the last time he even watched the movie the whole way through? Secondly, don’t go lecturing ME about one of my favorite movies just because you don’t want to invest 2 hours in watching it with me.

Um, but after making Mike rewatch the entire movie with me over two nights, uh… He was right! Oops! Sorry dear!

I guess I was just a naive kid the last time I really watched the movie. I just thought they were really good friends. Anywho, not that it matters, the movie is still great and makes me want all the splattery, crispy, fried green tomatoes.

The chile lime fried green tomato biscuit sandwiches recipe uses my usual biscuit recipe, which can be found here. I had to give a little kick to the fried green tomato breading so I added some of Trader Joe’s Chile Lime Seasoning Blend. I don’t think I will ever make them plain again!

Instructions

1. Add the beaten eggs to a shallow pie pan. Add the flour and chili lime seasoning along with salt and pepper to a separate shallow pie pan. Whisk the flour mixture to combine.

Notes

Chile lime fried green tomato biscuit sandwiches could also be great topped with a fried egg.
