Yields: 2 tomato sandwiches
Ingredients
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 saltine crackers, rolled into fine crumbs
  • 1 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 thick slices of large ripe tomato (from 2 tomatoes)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 6 Tbsp cream cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 basil leaves, finely chopped
Instructions
  1. Melt butter over medium heat in a non-stick pan. Stir together the saltine crumbs and parmesan cheese and spread on a plate for dipping.
  2. Dip one side of each tomato slice in the beaten egg, then in the saltine/parmesan mixture, then place in the pan, breaded side down.
  3. Stir together the cream cheese, garlic, and basil. Form two patties and place on two of the cooking tomato slices.
  4. Saute the slices for about 5 minutes, until nicely browned.
  5. Turn the slices without cream cheese onto the slices with cream cheese. Saute a minute or two longer and serve. Enjoy!
