Ingredients

18 slices french bread (1 to 1.5 cm), or some slices of coarse bread you cut small rounds from

3 Mozzarella cheese made with buffalo milk of 150 gram each

60 gram butter

1 tablespoon powdered sugar (icing sugar) with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 or 2 tablespoons rose water

Directions

Toast the slices of french bread or larger slices.

Then fry them shortly in butter over a slow fire. The bread must be golden, not brown.

Cut the cheese in 18 slices.

Preparation:

Heat the (oven with built-in) grill.

Cover each piece of bread with a slice of Mozzarella. Place the crostini under the grill until the cheese has melted and is starting to colour.

Take from the grill, sprinkle sugar with cinnamon over it, and rose water.

Serve: As soon as possible.

Buffalo milk wow...........different isnt it

Mozzarella di Bufala. It is a a common staple in Italy even today. Insalata caprese should be made with this versus what we usually get in the grocery store as fresh milk mozzarella.

I've included a link for those that are interested in learning more about this wonderful substance.

This sounds amazing. I would never have thought of mozzarella as a sweet dish. And mozzarella di bufala has a really nice flavor.
