Ingredients
  • 6 eggs poached
  • 6 slices of good bread cut in rounds and toasted
  • anchovy paste
  • 6 slices of fresh tomato
  • mayonnaise
  • cream
  • parsley or paprika

Directions
  1. Poach eggs in water with a dash of vinegar (yolks just sticky)
  2. Toast rounds of thick cut good quality bread, not wimpy wonderbread.
  3. Spread each toast round with anchovy paste.
  4. Place slice of tomato on toast.
  5. Top with egg (patted dry)
  6. Refrigerate covered if making early.
  7. Before serving, thin mayonnaise with some milk or cream to just pouring consistancy, a thick cream consistancy.
  8. Put egg rounds on decoratve serving platter,
  9. Pour mayonnaise over the egg mounds.
  10. Garnish with chopped parsley or sprinkle each with paprika.
  11. I use cayenne instead of paprika to liven up the dish a bit. A little goes a long way.

I have never eaten cold eggs but I am willing to give it a try now. Thanks for posting this.


I'm addicted to anchovies in any form. My step grandma on the Polish side of the family would always make us open face egg salad on brown bread with a criss cross of anchovy on top. This kind of combines the whole egg salad idea but deconstructed. Eggs, mayo, anchovy, what could be wrong with that? A bonus of tomato goodness.


Nothing wrong with that....it was delicious and loved by all. Thank you JM


A great post. Nothing here not to love. You get my 5 forks and I'm only sorry I can't make it a 10....Bob
