Preparation:
- Slice the tomatoes. Don’t slice them too thin or they might break. Season the slices with salt and pepper and let them sit for about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs and milk.
- Place the breadcrumbs, flour, salt, and pepper on a plate.
- Dip the tomato slices in the egg and milk mixture.
- Dip the tomato slices in the flour mixture. Make sure the tomato slices are well coated.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over low heat and fry the tomato slices until golden brown. It’s important that they don’t touch each other while frying. Once one side is cooked, turn the slices over and cook on the other side.
