Pimento Cheese & Fried Green Tomato Biscuits

Last December my husband & I went to Nashville for a few days to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had a blast & ate tons of delicious food(You can read more about our trip here: Part 1 and Part 2). One place that sticks out in my memory is the Loveless Cafe & their biscuits. I ordered the biscuit platter, which is basically just a sampler of a few different types of biscuits. One of them that I picked was the pimento cheese & fried green tomatoes and I have been thinking about recreating it ever since.

This is not an exact recipe. I'm sharing links to my favorite ways to make each individual ingredient. The pimento cheese is my go to recipe from my mother-in-law. If you're going to go the homemade route on the biscuits I'm linking the very best recipe I know for delicious, all from scratch biscuits. I've made them several times & they are definitely worth the work. Store bought dough will also work just fine. And lastly, I have the link for the recipe I used for the fried green tomatoes. Chef John's recipes are trusted and always produce good results. Follow the instructions for battering & frying the tomatoes, leaving out the remoulade sauce. 

I hope you'll give these a try! They'll be perfect for your next Southern inspired brunch!
