Tomatoes au 'Gratin.

This is an appetizing recipe and offered at breakfast takes the place of meat. Select small, firm, ripe, and even sized tomatoes. Remove the stems, cut off the top of each, and scoop out the centers. Fry two or three shallots in a little hot butter, add half a cupful of chopped cooked tongue or ham, a few chopped mushrooms, and moisten with brown sauce. Add a high seasoning of salt and pepper and two tablespoonfuls or more of bread crumbs. Divide mixture into eight or ten tomatoes, sprinkle over the top of each a few bread crumbs, and grated cheese. Bake in a hot oven for ten or fifteen minutes until nicely done. Serve at once.
