Soak finnan haddie in water to cover for 1 hour.
Drain and put into a large saucepan, covering with the milk and water. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes.
When cooled, remove the skin and bones, reserving the stock.
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Stir in the flour and cook over direct low heat until smooth. Add the cream and 1 1/4 cups of the reserved stock; continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is slightly thickened.
Season with pepper and nutmeg.
When the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon, remove it from the heat, measure out 1/4 cup, and set it aside.
Break the finnan haddie into pieces and fold them into the sauce.
Simmer gently over low heat for a few minutes until the fish is warmed.
Pour the mixture into a shallow casserole; cover with the pimiento and sliced hard-cooked eggs and pour the reserved 1/4 cup of sauce over the eggs.
Sprinkle the dish with bread crumbs and place under a hot broiler to brown.
Serve with the anchovy toast.
