Cooking time: 10 Minutes | Serves: 2
Ingredients
- Lucky Star Sardines in Vegetable Oil 2 tins (120 g each)
- Butter, softened 1⁄4 cup (60 ml)
- Lemon juice 1 Tbsp (15 ml)
- Lemon zest, grated 2 tsp (10 ml)
- Fresh chives, finely chopped 2 Tbsp (30 ml)
- A dash of olive oil
- 2 Extra-large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- In a medium bowl add drained sardine fillets with the butter, lemon juice and zest.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Using a fork or a masher, mash the sardines until smooth and then add the chives.
- If the spread is too thick you can add a little olive oil to loosen it a bit.
- In a small saucepan on medium heat, add enough water to cover the saucepan and then prick the eggs. This prevents them from cracking while boiling.
- Once the water boils, lower the heat and add the eggs and set a timer for exactly 4 and a half minutes.
- When the eggs are done, slice off the tops and serve them in egg cups with (buttered) toast and the sardine spread.
