Tomato patties, or domatokeftedes, are a traditional Greek dish that is perfect for a snack or appetizer. These patties are made with fresh roma tomatoes, herbs, spices, and a bit of flour and breadcrumbs to hold them together. They are then pan-fried until crispy and golden brown, and served hot. These patties are full of flavor and are a great way to use up fresh tomatoes during the summer months. They can be made ahead of time and reheated for an easy and tasty snack.

2.Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

6.Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
7.Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
