2. 2

   In a small bowl, mash together the chopped anchovies, butter, mustard, eggs, herbs and pepper.

   At this point, the sandwiches may be wrapped in wax paper and refrigerated for up to 3 days or even frozen (they should be thoroughly defrosted before using).

   Over moderate heat, melt the butter and oil in a 10 to 12 inch skillet.

   Drain on paper towels and serve while hot either whole as a main luncheon course or snack, or cut in quarters to accompany cocktails.
