Once cooked, an anchovy will basically dissolve and won’t add fishiness to the final dish, more a depth of flavour and intense savouriness or umami.

Boil the eggs to your preference. I bring a small pan of water to a gentle simmer, carefully lower the (room temperature) eggs in, and simmer for 5 minutes. This gives a set white and a runny yolk – perfect for dipping.
While the eggs cook, make the flavoured butter. Toast the fennel seeds in a dry pan for 30 seconds or so, until they start to smell delicious. Tip into a pestle and mortar or small blender with the chilli flakes, then crush or whizz into a rough powder.
Tip the spices onto a board and add the butter and anchovy fillets. Using a table knife, blend it all together until you have a well combined, rough mixture. Toast the bread. Spread the anchovy butter over the hot toast and cut into soldiers to dip into your eggs.
