Breaded Tomatoes The Old Fashioned Way By Freda Recipes

Steps:

• Peel and core tomatoes but leave them whole. Dip each whole tomato in melted butter. In a small bowl, combine saltine crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Roll tomatoes in crumb mixture, gently pressing crumbs onto tomato. Place tomatoes in a single layer in a greased shallow baking dish. If there are any crumbs or butter left, combine them and sprinkle over the tomatoes. Bake at 475° for 15 minutes or until tomatoes begin to brown and are heated through. Watch closely; they burn easily. Meanwhile, for cheese sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Add milk all at once; cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Remove from the heat; stir in Parmesan cheese. Serve over tomatoes.

Steps:

• 1. Lightly butter toasted bread with part of butter. Cut into cubes and put aside. Cook celery and onion in remaining butter for a few minutes until crisp tender. Add fresh or canned tomatoes, if using canned - do not drain! Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 8 to 10 minutes.
• 2. Combine the flour, sugar, marjoram, a few tablespoon water, a pinch of salt and dash of pepper. Stir into tomatoes. Cook and stir for a few minutes until bubbly.
• 3. In a greased 1-quart casserole alternate tomatoes and toast cubes making toast be the top layer! You can sprinkle some parmesan cheese on if you would like, but is fine without it. Bake in a 350 degree oven for twenty minutes or until bubbly. Enjoy!!
• 4. You can use cans of Italian stewed tomatoes and omit the celery, onion and marjoram from this recipe. It is easy to double or triple this recipe for large groups.
