Toast with Hard Boiled Eggs & Bagna Cauda // Also, Walnut Bread
Description
Transfer the paste to a small saucepan. Add the butter and olive oil and bring to a simmer over low heat. Continue simmering for about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice. Season with salt to taste. Note: This can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. Just be sure to rewarm it slightly before serving — I used the microwave.
Ingreadient :
- 2 to 3 fat garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
- 4 3-inch-long salt-packed* anchovies, rinsed well, backbones removed, finely chopped (about tablespoon)
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped lemon zest
- 3 to 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or to tastes
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 6 eggs (or however many you wish)
- arugula (I didn’t have any, but this sounds wonderful)
- grilled bread (I used my panini machine, but toasted bread is just fine, too)
Direction :
- Using a mortar and pestle (I used the food processor…lazy), pulverize the garlic and anchovies until a smooth paste.

- Place the eggs in a saucepan and add enough cold water to cover. Bring the water to a boil and immediately turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove the eggs to a bowl and allow to rest for at least 2 minutes. When the eggs are cool enough to handle, crack the eggs on each side and then roll them back and forth with your hand, breaking up the shell. Remove and discard the shell.
