Schnitzel:

Remove the core of the tomatoes.
Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise, then slice off the ends so they can rest flat on a board.
Place 2/3 cup flour and eggs in a blender, and blend until incorporated.
Season each slice of tomato generously with salt and pepper.
The remaining 1 cup flour on a plate, dredge each slice in the flour, tap off any extra, then dredge in batter.
Heat the olive oil a large sauté pan over medium high heat.
Fry the tomato slices in the oil until golden brown on both sides.

Whipped Ricotta:

Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.

Piperade:

Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.

Bagna Cauda:

Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until slightly chunky, about the consistency of pesto.

Place tomato schnitzel on a platter and serve with the three sauces on the side.
