  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large beefsteak or heirloom tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • Pinch salt and pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup cooked corn
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese
  • 1/2 jalapeño (sliced)
  • 3 tbsp red onion (diced)
  • 2 tbsp cilantro
  • Pinch salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 cup oil of choice (I used olive oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your coating station by mixing flour, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on one plate. In another bowl, whisk the egg and pour panko breadcrumbs onto a third plate.
  2. Slice the tomatoes into thick pieces. Dip each slice in the flour mixture, then the egg wash, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked corn, feta cheese, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, salt, and pepper for the corn salsa.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry each tomato slice for about 1 minute on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  5. Serve hot by topping each fried tomato slice with corn salsa.
