An Egg On The Ritz

---

A retro recipe that stands the test of time. These little round beauties are the highlight of any get together. Hard boil the egg, slice in 6 slices, (i use a egg slicer) top with salt & pepper, (i use a course ground pepper) dollop each slice with a zesty bit (about 1/4 tsp or more if you like) ketchup and tabasco, and slide on to the ritz. A smooth, but slightly salty and most definitely zesty bit of wonder right onto your taste buds.
