Are you awake? Breakfast is ready!
When I was little, my grandmother wouldn't let me leave the house without eating two fried eggs and a cup of milk. It had become a ritual. That was her guarantee that I wouldn't faint from hunger during the day. She knew she wouldn't see me until evening 😉 What she didn't know was that I was eating at the neighbors' whatever they offered me: donuts, homemade chocolate, bread with oil and sugar, bread with lard...
Ingredients
4 eggs
2 anchovy fillets (in oil)
1 tablespoon butter (about 15 g)
3 tablespoons oil
salt, pepper
Servings: 2
How to prepare fried eggs with anchovies
- Over medium heat, melt the butter with the oil in a pan until it starts to foam.
- Add the finely chopped anchovies. Fry for about 30 seconds.
- Crack the eggs into the pan and sprinkle with pepper and salt only if needed (check how salty the anchovies are). Cover the pan and let them fry for 1.5-2 minutes, until the whites are set.
- Remove the lid and with a spoon, baste the yolks several times with the sauce from the pan.
- Serve immediately with toasted bread.
