Ingredients

• 30 g Tinned Anchovies in Oil (drained, bones removed if present)
• 100 g Unsalted Butter (softened at room temperature)
• 1 pinch Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 4 slices Sourdough Bread (thick‑cut, preferably day‑old)

Instructions

1. Prepare Anchovies

   Open the tin, drain the oil, and place the anchovies in a small mixing bowl. Use a fork or masher to break them into a smooth paste.

   Time: PT2M

2. Add Soft Butter

   Add the softened butter to the anchovy paste (ratio about 3 parts butter to 1 part anchovies). Mix thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and creamy.

   Time: PT3M

3. Season

   Stir in a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust pepper if desired; no extra salt is needed because anchovies are already salty.

   Time: PT1M

4. Chill Briefly (Optional)

   Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 minutes to let the butter firm slightly, making it easier to spread.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: 4°C

5. Toast Sourdough & Serve

   Toast the sourdough slices until golden and crisp. Spread a generous layer of anchovy butter on each slice and serve immediately.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 350°F
