Anchovied Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a pot about halfway with water, and bring it to a boil over high heat. Use a large spoon to lower the eggs (in their shells) into the water one at a time. Reduce the heat to medium-high, and cook the eggs for 6 to 7 minutes-6 minutes for a runnier yolk, 7 minutes for a tighter, thicker yolk. While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread.
• When the eggs are cooked, remove them from the heat immediately and gently run cold tap water over them until they're cool enough to be handled. Carefully crack the eggs with a light tap, and peel them like hard-boiled eggs.
• Mash 1 egg on each piece of toasted bread with a fork. Top each egg with a sprinkling of parsley and 3 anchovy fillets, and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Cook the spaghetti in a large, lightly salted pan of boiling water for about 8 mins until al dente.
• Meanwhile, heat 1½ tbsp of the oil in a frying pan. Fry the breadcrumbs over a medium heat along with the garlic and chilli flakes, stirring, until the breadcrumbs are golden and crunchy. Stir in the parsley, transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Wipe the pan clean, then heat another 1½ tbsp of the oil in the pan. Fry the eggs, spooning the hot oil over the eggs as they fry, until cooked to your liking.
• Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water. Toss with most of the fried breadcrumbs, the remaining oil, a splash of the reserved cooking water and the anchovies. Divide the spaghetti between four bowls, top each with a fried egg and sprinkle over some freshly ground pepper and any remaining breadcrumbs.

Steps:

• Cut a paper-thin slice off both ends of eggs and halve eggs crosswise. Force yolks through a sieve into a bowl (or mash with a fork) and stir in remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer filling to a pastry bag fitted with a large plain or decorative tip and pipe into whites, mounding it. The stuffed eggs may be made 6 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
• Just before serving, garnish eggs.

Steps:

• Remove the eggs from their shells and cut them lengthwise or crosswise in half. If they are cut crosswise, cut off a thin slice from the bottom of each shelled half so that the eggs, when stuffed, will sit upright.
• Place a small sieve over a mixing bowl and put the egg yolks into the sieve. Using your fingers, press the yolks through the sieve. Add the remaining ingredients except the garnishes and beat to blend.
• Fill the cavity of each egg half with equal portions of the mixture, using a spoon or pastry tube. Decorate the top of each with small slices of pimento, olives or green pepper, or with rolled anchovy fillets.
