Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Add the eggs and cook for 8 minutes. Drain the eggs and transfer to the ice water.

- Arrange the egg whites cut-side up in a single layer on a serving platter. Pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white cavities. Top each with an anchovy half.
