An Egg On The Ritz

• 2 hard-boiled eggs
• 3 tablespoons tomato ketchup
• 2 drops Tabasco sauce (I use 3 drops, but is purely optional, but good!)
• 12 Ritz crackers
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper (course grind)
• 1 dried leaf basil (sliced) (optional)

1. Slice hard cooked eggs evenly.
2. Stir together ketchup and Tabasco sauce.
3. Place slice egg on top of Ritz, add a small dollop of ketchup-Tabasco sauce to top. Garnish with a fresh basil leave, sliced.
4. Hard-boiled egg method - place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by a 1/2-inch. Bring water to a very gentle boil. Turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for exactly (in pot) 12 minutes. After the time has passed place cooked eggs in a bowl of ice, and ice water until ready for use. Peel shell under cold water.
