  • About

This is another savoury rarely seen on menus these days. It’s good as a light snack or even for brunch. A few of the anchovies can be mashed and folded into the cooked eggs for a more savoury flavour.

Ingredients

  • 25 g (1 oz) butter, plus extra to spread
  • 4 eggs, beaten

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a heavy-based pan, add the eggs and cream with seasoning, and stir with a wooden spoon over a medium heat. The eggs should be nice and creamy when they are cooked.
  2. Meanwhile, toast the bread on both sides and butter it. Spoon the eggs on to the toast and arrange the anchovies in a lattice on top. Scatter the capers over to serve.
