Tomatoes on the Half-Shell

Cut the tomatoes in halves without peeling, place them in a baking-pan. Put a piece of butter on top of each and dust with salt and pepper. Stand the pan in the oven and cook the tomatoes slowly about one hour or until perfectly tender. Have ready squares of toasted bread; put a half of a tomato on each square, pour around them Cream Sauce and serve very hot.
