This recipe is incredibly easy and really tasty. We're healthy eaters, so frying tomatoes isn't the first thing that comes to mind. But you have got to taste these. Amazing! Disclosure: we used fresh tomatoes from our garden that were really flavorful. You may not get the same results with less flavorful tomatoes. We served with broiled salmon and rice, but these would go well with anything.

    These tomatoes are really fantastic. I was skeptical as I had not tasted fried tomatoes before these. But they are truly delicious and simple to make!

      This was excellent. My made these tomatoes a couple of days ago and topped the tomatoes with fresh grated Parmesan cheese when she flipped them and started to cook the second side.
      We had a few left over and I reheated them and put them under poached eggs....Great!

        The flavor was great. Be sure to use tomatoes that are not too ripe. One of mine was a ripe heirloom tomato that got too soft and fell apart. It tasted great but was hard to remove from the pan.
