Broiled Tomatoes

Choose large, firm tomatoes, cut them in halves, but do not peel them. Then place them in a broiler, dust with salt and pepper, and broil over a clear but moderate fire, skin side down, until tender (about twenty minutes). When done, lift them carefully to a heated plate, pour melted butter over them, and serve.

Or, toast slices of bread a nice brown, butter and lay on them the broiled tomatoes. Pour around Cream Sauce, and serve.
