Fried Tomato Slices

4 servings

45 minutes

Fried tomato slices are a simple yet exquisite dish that combines the tenderness of fresh tomatoes with a crispy golden crust. The idea for such a recipe may have originated from the desire to preserve the freshness of summer tomatoes and add an interesting texture to them. The salt enhances the tomatoes' flavor, while the breadcrumbs create an appetizing crunch. Frying in oil gives the slices a light caramelization, making them especially tasty. This dish is perfect as a standalone snack, a side for meat, or even as a base for creative sandwiches. It is recommended to serve them hot to maintain their crispy texture. Try them with spicy sauces or fresh herbs for an even richer flavor.
