The pan-fried breaded tomatoes are a delight that clearly should not be eaten every day, an easy and crispy appetizer, a side dish that with a nice mixed salad, two boiled eggs, or some legumes can become a main dish!
I chose solid red tomatoes that are not too ripe and not the green ones, but if you prefer…
The breading is basic, slightly flavored with fresh basil, but if you want, we could also add a pinch of grated parmesan, which requires more care in frying because the cheese tends to burn, and the taste is no longer that great!

Steps
1) Important for this recipe of pan-fried breaded tomatoes is to dry the tomato slices as much as possible, so…

3) After the resting time, dry the tomatoes with paper towels, lightly flour them, and let them rest for a few minutes, so to speak, ha ha!
4) In the blender, blend the sandwich bread without the crust, coarsely, not too finely, adding also the basil.
5) Take the tomato slices and press them gently with the basil-flavored bread to compact the breading well.
6) Arrange the already breaded red tomato slices in the refrigerator without overlapping them, to better compact the vegetable and breading for about 15/20 minutes.
7) In peanut oil (as you know, it is the type of seed oil that has the highest smoke point and thus holds up well to this pan-frying), fry the tomatoes until they are nice and crispy and golden!

Basil, parsley, thyme: choose the aromatic herb you like best!!!!!
Personally, I prefer toast bread over breadcrumbs instead of bread crumbs, but as always, decide according to your family’s tastes because it seems silly, but it greatly changes the texture of the dish!
