Broiled Tomatoes with Sauce
- 6 fine tomatoes, pared and sliced thick
- 3 hard-boiled eggs (yolks mashed)
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 tablespoon vinegar
- 2 raw eggs, beaten light
- 1 teaspoonful sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon each of made mustard and salt
- A pinch of cayenne
Rub butter, pounded yolks, pepper, salt, mustard and sugar together. Beat vigorously, add vinegar, and heat to a boil. Put this gradually upon the beaten eggs and whip to a smooth cream. Set in hot water while you broil the tomatoes in an oyster-broiler over clear coals. Lay this upon a hot-water dish and pour the scalding dressing upon them.
You may substitute a simpler sauce for this dressing, or one made by beating two teaspoons of lemon juice in three tablespoon of butter, and seasoning this with a little mustard or cayenne.
