Salt and pepper
Heat broiler or frying pan very hot, grease lightly; season crumbs

both sides well, and place upon the broiler; when one side is browned,

MAYONNAISE DRESSING
_2109 calories_
1 egg (yolk only)
2 tbs. lemon juice (or vinegar)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. mustard (dry)
Dash red pepper
1 cup olive oil
Method of Mixture: Mix dry ingredients with yolk of egg thoroughly;
add all the acid (use Dover beater). Now add, one teaspoonful at a
time, the olive oil; beat continually until the mixture thickens
(after 8 teaspoons of oil have been added). Put in oil by
tablespoonfuls until all is incorporated. This method shortens the
time of making at least one-half, and the dressing rarely curdles as
it often
