Grilled Piemento Cheese, and Bacon with Fried Green Tomatoes Sammie

This one grabbed my attention as a revamp of an old fav. standard BLT:
(males 4)

Piemento Cheese:
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella
3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar
1/4 cup light* mayo.
2 oz. cream cheese with chives*, room temp.
2 T. chopped roasted red pepper
1/8-1/4* t. hot pepper sauce
1/4 t. garlic powder
Sea* salt

Fredi Green Tomatoes and Assembly:
2 large green tomatoes, sliced 1/3" thick
Sea* salt, freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs
1/2* t. hot pepper sauce
1&1/2 t. garlic powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 t. smoked paprika*
2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
3 cups veg. oil
4 Ciabatta rolls, split
8 slices peppered* bacon, cooked until crisp
4 butter lettuce leaves*

Mix 1st 7 ingredients in a med. bowl; season with salt. Place tomatoes on a large paper towel-lined baking sheet and season with S&P. Whisk eggs and hot sauce in a shallow med. bowl. Whisk flour, garlic powder, and paprika in another shallow med. bowl. Place panko in a third shallow med. bowl. Using paper towels, pat tomatoes dry. Working in batches, dredge in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Coat with egg mixture, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Coat each side with panko, pressing to adhere. Pour oil into a large deep skillet to a depth of 1", and heat over med. heat until thermometer registers 350. Working in batches, fry tomatoes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crisp., about 3 mins. per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Spread cut sides of each roll with pimento cheese. Place rolls, pimiento cheese side up, on a baking sheet and broil until cheese is meted, about 2 mins. Build sammies with rolls, cooked bacon, and fried green tomatoes. and a butter lettuce leaf. Serve with  chilled dill conchicorns, and Lays Original potato chips.
