Hard Cooked Eggs With Radishes And Anchovy Butter Crostini Recipes

CHEESE CROSTINI WITH ANCHOVY HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add the anchovies and stir until they dissolve, about 3 minutes. Stir in the herbs, garlic, lemon zest, and crushed red pepper.
• Arrange the bread slices on a large baking sheet. Brush with the anchovy mixture. Sprinkle with the cheese. Bake until the cheese melts and the bread is golden, about 10 minutes. Cut the bread slices in halves and serve.

HARD-COOKED EGGS WITH RADISHES AND ANCHOVY-BUTTER CROSTINI

Steps:

• Stir together butter, anchovies, and garlic. Serve eggs, radishes, and baguette rounds with anchovy butter and a small pile of salt, for sprinkling.

ROASTED RADISH CROSTINI

Steps:

• Remove leaves and stems from radishes; trim the tails. Cut larger radishes lengthwise into sixths and smaller radishes lengthwise into quarters.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon oil, radishes in a single layer (do not crowd) and salt and pepper. Cook radishes, without moving them, until they are lightly colored on undersides, about 3 minutes. Shake pan and continue cooking until tender, about 3 more minutes. (You can also roast them in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 to 20 minutes.)
• In a small skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in anchovies, garlic, red pepper and remaining oil. Reduce heat and simmer about 4 minutes.
• Brush each slice of toast with sauce and top with several radish wedges. Spoon additional sauce on top, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT HARD BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place eggs into a saucepan and pour in cold water to cover; place over high heat. When the water just starts to simmer, turn off heat, cover pan with a lid, and let stand for 17 minutes. Don't peek.
• Pour out the hot water and pour cold water over eggs. Drain and refill with cold water; let stand until eggs are cool, about 20 minutes. Peel eggs under running water.

ROASTED RADISHES WITH ANCHOVIES

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over very low heat, combine anchovies and 1/3 cup olive oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until anchovies have melted into the oil, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in garlic.
• Clean the radishes thoroughly under running water, leaving any nice greens attached if possible; drain and dry very well. Leave smaller radishes whole and halve any large ones lengthwise.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat a very large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Add the radishes in a single layer. Cook, without moving, until undersides are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip radishes and transfer skillet to oven. Cook until radishes are tender enough to be easily pierced with a knife, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on size of radishes.
• Return skillet to stove top over medium-high heat. Toss with anchovy oil, butter, parsley and lemon juice. Serve warm.

GARLIC HERB BUTTER CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
• Add the anchovies and stir until they dissolve, around 3 minutes.
• Stir in the herbs, garlic, lemon zest and red pepper flakes.
• Arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet.
• Brush the tops of the bread slices with the butter mixture.
• (If I'm feeling lazy I just dip one side of the bread slice in the butter mixture and place the bread back on the baking sheet butter side up).
• Sprinkle the tops of the bread slices with the Provolone cheese.
• Bake until the cheese melts and the bread is golden and toasty, around 7- 10 minutes.

RADISHES WITH CREAMY ANCHOVY BUTTER

SLICED BAGUETTE WITH RADISHES AND ANCHOVY BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix butter, 2 chopped anchovy fillets, and 2 tablespoons chives in small bowl, adding 1 more chopped anchovy fillet to taste, if desired. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spread anchovy butter over 1 side of each baguette slice. Top each baguette slice with radish slices, overlapping slightly to cover bread. Garnish with additional chopped chives and serve.
