Fried Tomato Sandwich   

great for summer!
Ingredients
4 thick Fresh tomato slices
1 8oz Cream cheese softened
1/2 cup Fresh herbs (basil or parsley or both) chopped
1 tablespoon Garlic minced
1/2 cup Flour
1/2 cup panko
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Milk
3 tablespoon Butter
1/4 teaspoon Salt and freshly ground pepper

 
InstructionsUse a big tomato, like beefsteak. Get 4 slices out of the tomato. You want them thick.
Mix your garlic, salt & pepper and fresh chopped herbs together with your softened cream cheese. You can use a mixer to get it incorporated.
Melt your butter in a skillet on med to med-high.
Get 3 plates and make your dredging ingredients. (flour, egg & milk & panko) Put each ingredient in a separate dish.
Take one tomato slice, top with cream cheese mix and top with 2nd tomato slice. This is your sandwich.
Dredge the sandwich in flour, then egg wash, then panko. Press the panko in the slice.
Place in skillet.
Cook about 3-5mins on each side. You are just getting it golden brown.
Repeat with the second sandwich.
You are going to need a fork!
