(19,015 posts)Slice tomatoes, lay in one layer in a colander, lightly salt, press gently to remove some of the liquid. Melt some butter in a skillet, and quickly saute the slices on both sides, remove to a plate. Add a little flour, salt, pepper and hot sauce to the butter in the skillet, mix till smooth and add enough heavy cream to make a sauce. Pour over the tomatoes and serve immediately.
I have use 1 tomato or 8, and just adjusted the other ingredients. If you want more cream sauce, use more butter, flour and cream. It tastes like tomato bisque. I like to make it at least once a summer.
The recipe for cream sauce is
Thin- 1 tbs flour, 1 bs butter, 1 cup milk or cream s&p to taste
Medium- 2 tbs flour, 2 tbs butter, 1 cup milk or cream s&p to taste
Thick-3 tbs flour, 3 bs butter, 1 cup milk or cream s&p to taste
