Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Brown a couple of onions in a little oil, about two table-spoonsful or more, according to the number of tomatos.
  2. When hot, add about six tomatos cut and peeled, and season with cayenne pepper and salt.
  3. Let the whole simmer for a short time.
  4. Then cut thin slices of bread and put as much in with the tomatos as will bring them to the consistency of a pudding; it must be well beaten up.
  5. Stir in the yolks of two or three eggs and two ounces of butter warmed.
  6. Turn the whole into a deep dish and bake it very brown.
  7. Crumbs of bread should be strewed over the top, and a little warmed butter poured over.
