|
| What You Need: |
|
|
|
½ loaf day-old homemade-type white bread, unsliced
10 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
4 tablespoons softened butter
2 tablespoons prepared Dijon mustard
4 hard-cooked eggs, finely chopped
¼ cup finely chopped dill, or ¼ cup combined dill, parsley and chives
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Trim the crusts from the loaf of bread and cut it into 12 slices 1/8 inch thick. In a small bowl, mash together the chopped anchovies, butter, mustard, eggs, herbs and pepper.
|
2. The mixture should be quite smooth. Thickly spread it on 6 slices of bread. Top each slice with another piece of bread, and lightly press them together.
|
3. At this point, the sandwiches maybe wrapped in wax paper and refrigerated for up to 3 days or even frozen (they should be thoroughly defrosted before using).
|
4. Over moderate heat, melt the butter and oil in a 10- to 12-inch skillet. When the foam subsides, add the sandwiches, 2 or 3 at a time, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until they are crisp and golden brown.
|
5. Drain on paper towels and serve while hot, either whole as a main luncheon course or a snack, or cut in quarters to accompany cocktails.
