A true italian dish both in flavor and preparation. If looking for an unusual but attractive side dish, this is it.
Submitted By: Bobbie Sue Baker

2-medium size tomatoes
2 t. mustard (you may add more according to your liking of mustard)

dash of ground pepper
dash of ground cayenne pepper (fresh if possible)
3 T. melted butter

me fresh is worth it and anything you don't use will last for your next
making of spaghetti or garlic bread)

Slice tomatoes in half and spread with mustard. Sprinkle with salt,
pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and melted
butter well. Spread crumb mixture over each tomato half. Place each tomato
