Look at these beauties! I LOVE heirloom tomatoes.
Fried red tomatoes on toast is one of my all-time favourite things to eat!
I remember eagerly waiting for
the first garden tomatoes to turn red so that my Dad could fry up a big batch
of them, he would pile them on warm toast with some smoky crispy bacon on the
side.
Seriously
to die for!
Here
is what you need for 2 servings,
4-6
slices of bacon
4-6
large tomatoes, sliced ½ inch thick
Salt/Pepper
4
slices hot buttered toast
In
a large cast iron skillet cook the bacon over medium high heat until crisp. Set
the bacon aside. Drain off any excess fat, but leave about a tablespoon in the
pan.
Lay
the tomato slices in the pan in a single layer. Season the tomatoes liberally
with salt and pepper.
Cook
for 3-4 minutes then flip the tomatoes, season with more salt and pepper to
taste, and cook another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes are soft but still hold
their shape.
Divide
the cooked tomatoes onto the toast. Serve with a couple slices of the crispy
bacon.
The
tomatoes get sweet but still have a little acidic bite to them, combined with a
hint of that bacon fat, all salty and smoky; oh man I am drooling over here!
This
just might be my last meal request…LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
Enjoy!
