Hi Brook...Hi Iyor! It’s so simple to make too! :)<br /><br />Hi Brooklyn Bomber! That sounds interesting! I guess now I know where I’ll be having brunch if I go to NY :)<br /><br />Hi Katrina! Yes I’ve tried it…nom! I got the idea for anchovies after googling for a substitute. Very easy! Don’t worry about the sputtering, it’s not like Backdraft or anything ;) Never thought of using bihod…now that’s pretty brilliant too! I am sure it would work and I will definitely try it…thanks for the suggestion! :)<br /><br />Hi Chef D! Hope you like it! :)<br /><br />Hi Social Chef!

I love eggs and anchovies (separately) and now you put them together and I will definitely cook this for my breakfast tomorrow.

(Have you tried the bottarga ...I LOVE bottarga too! (Have you tried the bottarga pasta at Mamou? My only complaint is I wish it had much more bottarga.) I never would've thought to substitute anchovies for that -- brilliant! And anchovies are a staple in my cupboard! Plus, of course, I always have butter. So I could do this tomorrow, if I wanted to. :-D (Not right now, because I'd have to buy eggs.) I'm going to do this soon, for sure. Easy (except for the sputtering part...that's kinda scary for me), quick and delicious -- right up my alley! <br /><br />Have you thought about substituting local fish roe (AKA bihod) for bottarga? When I had a jar of the stuff recently, I searched the net for recipes using either bottarga or fish roe but that DIDN'T involve pasta (that was my first idea, since it's most common, but I didn't want pasta), and the most common suggestion was to just mix it into scrambled eggs. So that's what I did. Bihod is much less salty than bottarga, but that should be easy to fix, so I think that might work with this dish, too. :-)Katrinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-35691180965996984132011-11-03T21:43:19.005+08:002011-11-03T21:43:19.005+08:00YUM!

My favorite brunch spot in Brooklyn makes incredible breakfast bread pudding with anchovies - its one of the <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/best-places-to-eat-in-new-york" rel="nofollow">best places to eat in New York </a> - and it reminds me of this! delish!

I don’t see why not! :) You can certainly try it…the difference I think is that with anchovies you can smash it to almost a powder that “dissolves” into the butter. With sardines it will be chunkier, but I think it will still be yummy…and a more filling meal :)<br /><br />Hi love cooking! The smell is definitely a great pick me up in the morning…love the smell of melting butter :)<br /><br />Hi Kelly! Thanks so much!! Egg and butter is really a winning combination :)<br /><br />Hi Michigan Food Blog!
