Author Notes

This started with my recipe for fried or unfried vegan green tomatoes (on this site) (this is not a vegan recipe, given the eggs and buttermilk; a vegan version could be made using a product like Just eggs to make an omelet, vegan cheese, and non-dairy milk combined with lemon juice and allowed to sit 30 minutes instead of buttermilk). Although it lends itself to a variety of egg-wich-izations, my favorite is this cheese and fried egg version. —louisez
