(4 servings)
4 tomatoes, halved
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Cayenne to taste
2 tablespoons buttered breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 tsp prepared mustard
Dash of Tabasco sauce
2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1-1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 egg yolk
Place tomato havles on a baking sheet, cut side up. Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper and cayenne, and then with the crumbs. Set aside.
Melt butter in a very small saucepan. Add mustard, Tabasco, Worcestershire, sugar, vinegar and a sprinkling of salt. Bring to a boil.
Beat the egg yolk and add a little of the vinegar mixture while stirring. Return to the saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly.
