Hard Boiled Eggs Sardinian Style (Sardinia)

Appetizers

Ingredients

Eggs - 6

Olive oil - 1/4 cup

Wine vinegar - 4 tsps

Salt

Garlic, finely chopped -  1 clove

Parsley, finely chopped - 2-3 sprigs

Soft breadcrumbs - 2 1/2 tbsps

Cook the eggs in boiling water for 7 minutes. Cool them under cold running water, then shell them carefully and slice them in half lengthwise.

Put the oil, vinegar and salt to taste in a frying pan; add the eggs and cook over a low heat until the vinegar has evaporated, turning them carefully from time to time. Transfer them to a heated shallow serving dish, cut sides uppermost, and keep warm in a low oven.

Add the garlic and parsley to the oil remaining in the pan, and cook over a low heat for a few minutes, stirring. Then stir in the breadcrumbs, and when they are a golden color, spread the mixture over the eggs. Serve either at once, warm, or leave until cold.
