These are one of my favorite dishes to make as everyone loves them and they are pretty easy! I would highly recommend checking out the balsamic basil oil from tastefully simple as that is the one I love to use (for many recipes) however in a pinch, using regular balsamic vinegrette + evoo is fine too. Ingredients:
2 firm ripe tomatoes |
1 cup italian seasoned breadcrumbs |
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon dried basil |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1/4 cup balsamic dressing |
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil |
1/4 cup fresh basil |
2 eggs |
1/4 cup milk |
1/4 cup flour |
Directions:
1. Chop fresh basil into fine pieces.
2. Mix together the balsalmic vinegrette and evoo (or get a combo balsalmic-oil pre-mix, as noted above).
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated cheese, garlic, dried basil, salt and pepper.
4. crack two eggs in bowl and add milk. whisk.
5. Cut tomatos horizontally into 3-4 thick slices each.
6. heat vegetable oil in skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes.
7. Take a tomato slice, dip in flour, then egg and then breadcrumbs. add to pan.
8. Repeat for next 3 tomatoes, cooking up to 4 at once in the same pan.
9. Cook on each side for about 4 minutes, untiled breadcrumbs are browned.
10. After removing from heat, immediately poor the balsamic oil over it and add fresh chopped basil.
