2.Preheat oven to 160C. Trim bread slices into 2cm x 10cm fingers, place on an oven tray lined with baking paper, brush with olive oil and bake until crisp and lightly toasted (10-12 minutes). Cool to room temperature, then spread generously with Montpellier butter, top each with an anchovy and 2 nasturtium leaves, season with freshly ground pepper and serve.
Nasturtium leaves are available from select greengrocers.
