Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shallots

    Thinly slice the shallots and soak them in a bowl of milk for about 30 minutes. This helps to soften their flavor.

  2. 2

    Fry the Shallots

    In a frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Dredge the soaked shallots in flour, shaking off the excess, and fry them in batches until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Heirloom Tomatoes

    While the shallots are frying, wash the heirloom tomatoes. Slice them into thick rounds and arrange them on a serving platter.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    Crumble the goat cheese over the sliced heirloom tomatoes. Top with the fried shallots and sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper and fresh basil leaves.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately as an appetizer or side dish. Enjoy the combination of creamy cheese, juicy tomatoes, and crunchy shallots!
