Tomato Salad with Hard-Boiled Egg Yolk Dressing

Ingredients

• 2 medium Tomatoes (Ripe tomatoes)
• 1 pinch Salt (To taste)
• 1 pinch Black pepper (Freshly ground, to taste)
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (For dredging)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (For sautéing tomatoes)
• 1 Egg (For hard-boiling and dressing)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (For the dressing)
• 2 tablespoons Vinegar (White vinegar or cider vinegar)

Instructions

1. 1Place the egg in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before peeling.
2. 2Wipe, peel (optional), and cut the tomatoes into slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. 3Dredge the tomato slices with flour. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the tomatoes until lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes per side.
4. 4Separate the yolk from the hard-boiled egg. In a heatproof bowl, cream together the butter and the hard-boiled egg yolk, rubbing the yolk to a paste. Add the remaining egg (white), beaten slightly, and the vinegar. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler) and cook, stirring constantly, until the dressing thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
5. 5Place the sautéed tomato slices on a hot platter. Pour the warm dressing over the tomatoes and serve immediately.
