Preparation

Step 1

TOMATO CUTLETS:
You'll need three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, mix the egg and milk. In the second bowl, have the flour. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and seasonings.

Dip the tomato slices first in the flour, next in the egg mixture and finally in the breadcrumbs.

Heat a large frying pan with approximately ¼ inch of canola oil.

Place the coated tomato slices in the pan. When they are golden on one side carefully turn over and finish cooking to a golden color on the other side.

DRESSING:
Combine all the ingredients for the dressing and drizzle over the plated tomatoes.
