Ingredients

Instructions

  • Begin by heating a large and deep skillet with about a ½ in of canola or vegetable oil. I used my cast iron skillet.
  • Set up a dredging station. One bowl with flour, another with 2 eggs and another with panko breadcrumbs. Season flour with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge tomato slice in flour, then egg then panko. Make sure tomato is fully coated with panko.
  • Fry tomato slices until first side is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. It should sizzle. Carefully flip over and fry the other side for another 2 minutes.
  • When tomatoes are done, remove to a paper tower-lined plate and season with kosher salt.
