Word Of Mouth's Fried Tomato, Mozzarella And Bacon Sandwich

Slice tomatoes into 1/2-inch slices, two per serving. Cut bread diagonally into slices, two per serving, then toast. Cut mozzarella into 1/4-inch slices, two per serving.

In a small shallow bowl, combine cornmeal, garlic salt and pepper. Dip tomatoes in mixture, coating both sides. Shake off excess.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Pan-fry tomato slices until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Spread each bread slice with pesto. Arrange mozzarella slices on half of the bread slices. Top each with 2 tomato slices, 2 basil leaves and 2 bacon slices. Top with remaining bread.
