Ingredients
  • 8 slices Italian bread -- sliced into 1/4-inch slices
  • 2 eggs -- beaten and seasoned with pinch of salt and black pepper
  • 1 ball fresh mozzarella -- sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour -- seasoned with pinch of salt and black pepper
  • 10 fresh basil leaves -- washed and torn
  • 4 slices prosciutto -- optional
  • tomato sauce

Directions
  1. Beat seasoned eggs, set aside.
  2. Make each sandwich using 2 slices of bread, mozzarella enough to cover the bread, a couple of strips of basil and prosciutto Place the mozzarella closest to the bread to ensure it sticking together. Squeeze sandwich to help it stick together.
  3. Dip sandwiches in seasoned flour and coat well. Shake off excess flour and dip in egg (making sure sandwich stays together).
  4. Cook in preheated skillet that has enough oil to come up halfway on the sandwich -- about 2-3 minutes on each side and until golden brown.
  5. Serve with tomato sauce for dipping, if desired.

Sound very good


Love it, love it... sounds wonderful... 5 forks.. do you know how to make fresh mozzarella? if you know how please post it.. thanks


Hi Rebecc. Thank you. Sorry, I have never made my own mozzarella :(

An added note - You could press some toasted pine nuts into the slices of mozzarella. Or, you could add some pesto, spread on the inside of the bread slices.


I think these would go great with the chilled soup you posted for the scallops. \0
