Ingredients
  

  • 1 large tomato (or green tomato)
  • 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup basil leaves freshly chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese (or goat cheese-yum!)
  • Redmond Real Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • coconut oil for frying (or ghee or butter)

Instructions
 

  • Place the almond flour into a medium mixing bowl. Add the Parmesan cheese and mix well. Core and thinly slice your tomato. I got about 4 slices which would make 2 “sandwiches”. Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Finely chop the basil and garlic. Warm-up your skillet and melt butter for frying. Dip your tomato in the egg mixture. Then drag your tomato through the almond and Parmesan mixture. Make sure it is well coated. It will be a bit sticky. Do this for all your tomato slices. Fry your tomato slices in a preheated skillet in coconut oil, ghee, or butter. Once browned flip to the other side. This will take 3-5 minutes per side on low to medium heat. When your tomatoes are nice and crispy top *half * your tomatoes with cheese slices and garlic basil mixture. To make a “sandwich”, place the remaining tomatoes on the garlic basil cheese. Cover your skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt. Add salt and pepper to taste! Best served fresh.
