The recipe is an adaptation from the Dinosaur BBQ’s cookbook. I made no changes to it as I wanted the same taste I experienced at the restaurant. The tasty, crunchy crust on these tomatoes is a treat in and of itself. The tender, tangy tomato flesh inside makes a beautiful contrast to the crunchy exterior. You want to savor every bite.

These tomatoes are absolute best hot off the skillet served with the homemade Buttermilk Ranch Dressing. Everyone gathers in the kitchen, and we start enjoying them as soon as the first batch is ready and the next batch is in the pan. That’s the best way to eat them. Why wait, right? Sprinkle them with grated or shaved Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese, they will taste even better.
