Ingredients

  • 6 Nice, Large, Firm Tomatoes
  • An Egg
  • ½ Cupful of Bread Crumbs

Method

Slice the tomatoes very thin, and then dust with salt and pepper. Beat the egg very light. Dip the Tomatoes first in this and then in the bread crumbs, and drop into the lard, covering the bottoms of the pan. When brown on one side, turn on the other. Turn carefully with the cake turner into a heated dish. Keep warm while frying the rest, and serve very hot.
