Ingredients

4 slices white bread, crusts removed
250 ml (1 cup) parsley, chopped finely
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
3 eggs
125 ml (1/2 cup) butter
3 firm ripe tomatoes, in 1 cm (1/2 in) slices, seeded

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 150°C / 300°F.
  2. Dry the bread in the oven, turning occasionally. Remove from oven and cool on the counter.
  3. In a food processor, pulse the dried bread to make coarse crumbs.
  4. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and combine with the parsley, salt and pepper.
  5. In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
  6. In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat.
  7. Dip the tomato slices first in the beaten egg and then in the crumbs. Press gently with your palm to make the crumbs stick well to each slice.
  8. Fry 1 minute on each side and keep warm on paper towels as you go.
  9. Serve immediately.
