Buckingham Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Make the dip: Place all the ingredients except the eggs in a deep pot along with 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat until the butter and lard are melted, whisking to dissolve the salt, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat and gently simmer the sauce until richly flavored, about 15 minutes. Correct the seasoning, adding salt, cayenne or pepper to taste.
• Place the eggs in a large pot with cold water to cover by 4 inches. Gradually bring eggs to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and briskly simmer for 11 minutes.
• Drain the eggs in a colander and rinse with cold water until cool enough to handle. Shell them under cold running water. Place them in a deep bowl or container and pour the dip over them.
• Pickle the eggs in the refrigerator for 7 days. The butter and lard will congeal on top. Break through and discard this. Drain the eggs and serve.

Steps:

• Remove the fillets from oil and set the oil aside. Finely chop the anchovies and mix with the parsley and garlic. If the mixture is a bit stiff, add back in some of the anchovy oil until the mixture is spreadable. Set to the side. Preheat your broiler.
• Spread each slice of bread with butter and toast under the broiler until it is a light golden brown.
• While bread is toasting, scramble the eggs in a double boiler with the cream. When they are thickened, but still a tad bit underdone, remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the eggs between each slice of toast and top with cheddar. Return to the boiler until cheese is melted and starting to brown. Enjoy immediately.
