Fried Red Tomatoes with Sour Cream and Prosciutto

I saw this on a cooking show today, I love tomatoes. Looked yummy!

Fried Red Tomatoes with Sour Cream and Prosciutto

•3 firm ripe tomatoes
•1/2 cup white flour
•3 eggs, beaten
•2/3 cup panko bread crumbs
•1/4 cup olive oil
•1 tablespoon butter
•1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
•1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
•Sour cream, for garnish
•3 slices prosciutto, fried till crisp, or bacon, for garnish
•A few sprigs of fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish

Directions
Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch slices. Sprinkle with coarse salt and cracked black pepper. Place flour, eggs, and crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Heat the oil with a dollop of butter, in a medium skillet on medium heat. Dip the tomato slices in the flour, then the eggs, and then crumbs. In batches, fry half the coated slices at a time, for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Coat the remaining tomatoes in the flour, egg and bread crumb mixture, and cook. Remove the tomatoes to a warm serving tray. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, crumbled crisp prosciutto, and a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives.

Sounds good Piper.

Here's a picture of them, I couldn't get pictures to load yesterday for some reason.

Mmm, they look even better than they sounded. :feede:

I agree, I think my mouth was watering. I wanted to reach thru the tv and grab them.

I feel like taking a bite out of my computer screen.

I'm making these with chicken and roasted asparagus tonight. I can't wait!

Yummo, Julie......yummo! I used crumbled bacon bits and a tiny bit of sliced green onion for the garnish.

Too bad you can't pm me one. :feede:
