Preparation Time:- 10 minutes

 

Cooking Time:- 10 minutes

 

Remove crust from the bread. Blend peanut butter with oil from the sardines and use to spread the bread. Mash sardines and spread on 4 of the slices.

 

Beat up 2 of the eggs, stir in 2 tablespoons milk. Season to taste. Melt 1 oz. butter, stir in eggs and scramble. Cool slightly. Spread over the sardine mixture. Press the other 4 slices in place firmly. Beat up the other 2 eggs with the rest of the milk. Pour into a soup plate and dip the sandwiches in this mixture (see Quick Tip below). Heat remaining butter in a frying pan and quickly fry the sandwiches on both sides until golden brown.

 

Serve each sandwich decorated with washed watercress. Serves 4.

 

Quick Tip

 

To coat sandwiches in egg: pour well beaten egg on plate. Dip sandwiches on each site by using tongs. Hold up and allow to drain before placing in frying pan. A little milk added to the egg will make it go further.
