Scotch Woodcock

Preparation time: 4 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
To Serve: 4

You will need
6 eggs
salt and pepper
6 tablespoons milk
1 ½ oz. butter
4 slices buttered toast
16 anchovy fillets
few capers

Beat eggs and add seasonings and milk. Heat butter in a saucepan. Scramble eggs. Cut buttered toast into eight portions, cover and arrange anchovy fillets on top. A few capers may be arranged between the fillets if liked.

Cold savoury egg
The scrambled egg may be allowed to get cold when it may be cut into strips. Pile the strips on to small rounds of thin toast. Top some with coiled anchovy fillets and others with a few capers. Serve as an hors d’oeuvre.
