A retro recipe that stands the test of time. These little round beauties are the highlight of any get together. Hard boil the egg, slice in 6 slices, (I use a egg slicer) top with salt & pepper, (I use a course ground pepper) dollop each slice with a zesty bit (about 1/4 tsp or more if you like) ketchup and Tabasco, and slide on to the Ritz. A smooth, but slightly salty and most definitely zesty bit of wonder right onto your taste buds.
Ingredients:
2 hard-boiled eggs
3 tablespoons tomato ketchup
2 drops tabasco sauce (i use 3 drops, but is purely optional, but good!)
12 ritz crackers
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper (course grind)
1 dried leaf basil (sliced) (optional)
Directions:
1. Slice hard cooked eggs evenly.
2. Stir together ketchup and Tabasco sauce.
3. Place slice egg on top of Ritz, add a small dollop of ketchup-Tabasco sauce to top. Garnish with a fresh basil leave, sliced.
4. Hard-boiled egg method - place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by a 1/2-inch. Bring water to a very gentle boil. Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for exactly (in pot) 12 minutes. After the time has passed place cooked eggs in a bowl of ice, and ice water until ready for use. Peel shell under cold water.
