Fried Red Tomatoes Recipe

Directions:

1. Cook bacon in a large skillet until crisp; drain well. Crumble and set aside. Reserve drippings in skillet.
2. Cut each bread slice with a 3 1/2-inch cookie cutter. Toast bread rounds on each side, and set aside.

4. Heat reserved drippings over medium heat; add dredged tomato slices, and cook until golden brown, turning once. Sprinkle sugar evenly over slices.
5. Place fried tomatoes on toast rounds, and sprinkle with bacon. Serve immediately.
