Ingredients

  • 6 portions prepared bread
  • 3 Tbsp. anchovy paste
  • 3 tsp. lemon juice
  • 2 hard-cooked eggs
  • whole anchovies for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Anchovy paste, which comes in tubes, jars or bottles, may be used, or whole anchovies may be reduced to a smooth paste with a wooden spoon.

  2. Season lemon juice and spread the paste on the prepared pieces of bread. Split anchovy lengthwise and lay halves diagonally across the canapé, marking the point where they cross by a little pyramid. A large anchovy curved around a circle of hard-cooked egg in the center of a canapé is also effective. The anchovies may be omitted from the garnish.
