Eggs on a Dish with Tomatoes

Œufs sur le Plat aux Tomates

Scald two small partly ripe tomatoes in order to remove the skins, divide each one in two, cut them up small, salt over and drain in a sieve; saute in butter and range them on the bottom of a small buttered egg dish (Fig. 567); break four eggs into this, salt the whites, scaled the yolks and cook in the oven, glossing the tops.
