Fried Tomato Sliders

I'm always on the lookout for new slider recipes and I have to say that these fried tomato sliders are a real winner! They're perfect for a quick and easy dinner, and they're so tasty that your family will love them.

To make the sliders, start by slicing some tomatoes into thin rounds. You'll need about 10-12 small slices per slider.

Then, heat some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the tomatoes. Cook until they start to brown and get a little bit crispy, about 5 minutes.

Once the tomatoes are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly. Assemble the sliders by adding a slice of tomato to each slider bun, then topping with cheese and bacon.

Place the sliders in the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately and enjoy!
