Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe tomatoes
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
Prepare three separate shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Dip each tomato slice into the flour, coating both sides. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the tomato slice in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure even coverage.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough that a breadcrumb dropped into it sizzles but does not burn.
Carefully place the breaded tomato slices into the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the cooked tomato slices from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the breaded tomato slices warm as a side dish, appetizer, or snack. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
