I first made these in the last 70's and had forgotten about the recipe. This is so good it melts in your mouth. Messy to make, but well worth it. Make sure you get the tomatoes evenly sliced and not more than 1/2". I found the recipe in an Benson & Hedges "Recipes from Great American Inns" cookbook. I did not use panko - I used real bread crumbs. Highly recommended.
