Anchovy Eggs (Serves 4)

4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled

A little salt

A little cayenne pepper

2tsp anchovy essence

2tbsp mayonnaise

8 small slices brown bread

Butter

2 tomatoes, each cut into

4 slices, discarding the ends

A little fresh parsley, to garnish

Halve the eggs and remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a bowl with a little salt and cayenne pepper, the anchovy essence and mayonnaise and mix it all together to create a moist paste.

Spoon the paste into a piping bag and pipe it back into the egg whites. Alternatively, spoon the mixture straight into the cavities.

Butter the bread and cut into small rounds. Place a thin round of tomato on each round and half an egg on top. Garnish with a little fresh parsley.
