Ingredients

  • 2 large beefsteak tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour 60 grams
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp milk 15 ml
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs 60 grams
  • 1 tsp garlic powder 3 grams
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano 0.50 grams
  • 1/4 cup grated Manchego cheese 30 grams
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 125 grams
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely grated)
  • 1/2 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika 1.25 grams
  • 1 tsp lemon juice 5 ml
  • 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 8 ml
  • 1 small red onion (thinly sliced)
  • handful romaine lettuce
  • 4 brioche buns
  • sea salt & black pepper
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 120 ml

Instructions

  1. Cut the tomatoes into 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick rounds, then add them over some paper towels in a single layer and season with salt on both sides, set aside for 10 minutes

  2. Add the flour into a bowl, crack the egg into a separate bowl, add in the milk, and season with salt & pepper, whisk together, add the panko breadcrumbs into a third separate bowl, add in the garlic powder, dried oregano, and grated cheese, and mix together

  3. Add the yogurt into a bowl, along with the grated garlic, paprika, lemon juice, and olive oil, season with salt & pepper, and whisk together until well mixed

  4. After leaving the tomatoes for 10 minutes, transfer them over some new paper towels and pat completely dry, removing any excess salt

  5. Heat a medium-sized fry pan with a medium heat and add in 1/2 cup (120 ml) olive oil

  6. While the oil is heating, coat the slices of tomato first in the flour, then into the egg wash, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs

  7. Once the oil is nice and hot, add in the breaded tomatoes, cook in batches to not overcrowd the pan, fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden and crispy, then transfer over a wire rack (to keep your fried tomatoes warm while cooking in batches, just add them into a preheated oven at its lowest setting)

  8. Lightly toast the brioche buns

  9. To assemble the sandwiches, add some of the yogurt sauce over the bottom slice, then top off with some sliced red onion, a couple of romaine lettuce leaves, and one fried tomato, then add some of the yogurt sauce over the top slice and place it over the sandwich, serve at once, enjoy!
