Fried Red Tomatoes with Sour Cream and Prosciutto. Delicious and filling, this is like a healthier version of a loaded baked potato!
This recipe is super simple and easy! The first time I made this, I cut the tomatoes way too thick. They cook better if sliced thinner but hey, the fuller slice is nice too. . just have to cook it longer.
Hope you enjoy!
