De bereidingswijze
Stap voor stap
- 1
Place bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
Ongeveer 10 min
- 2
Remove the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the rendered drippings in the skillet. Once cool enough to handle, crumble the bacon.
Ongeveer 2 min
Tip van de kok: You should have about 3-4 tablespoons of drippings. If you have much more, pour some off.
- 3
In a shallow dish, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt for the coating, and black pepper.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: Using a pie plate or similar shallow dish makes dredging the tomato slices easier.

Dredge each tomato slice in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to ensure it is evenly coated on both sides.
Ongeveer 3 min

Heat the bacon drippings in the skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated tomato slices in the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: You may need to fry the tomatoes in two batches depending on the size of your skillet.
- 6
Fry the tomatoes for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and just tender.
Ongeveer 5 min
- 7
Transfer the fried tomatoes to a platter and keep them warm. Repeat with any remaining tomato slices.
Ongeveer 1 min

Reduce the skillet heat to medium-low. Pour the half and half into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a whisk.
Ongeveer 1 min

Whisk about one to two tablespoons of the reserved coating mixture into the pan to thicken the gravy, then stir in the salt for the gravy.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: Add the coating mixture gradually to avoid lumps and achieve your desired thickness.
