A little melted butter
Slices of bread, 4 inches by 2 inches

Mash to a paste the contents of a small tin of anchovies, mixing with a little melted butter. Prepare some slices of bread about 4 inches by 2 inches, and toast on one side only. On the other side spread the anchovy paste fairly thickly, sprinkle with grated Parmesan, and if liked a few chopped green olives. Brown under a hot grill and serve while piping hot.
