Fried Mozzarella Sandwich Magic (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 ball (approximately 120g) mozzarella cheese
02 -
4 squares of white bread with edges trimmed off
03 -
150 ml milk
04 -
2 eggs
05 -
A pinch of salt and a sprinkle of pepper
06 -
5 tbsp plain flour
07 -
Sunflower oil, enough for shallow frying
# Instructions:
01 -
Crack the eggs into a bowl and mix in milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the flour onto a separate plate and set aside for later use.
02 -
Cut mozzarella into even slices. Lay them on two slices of trimmed bread, making sure they don't stick out past the edges.
03 -
Top each mozzarella-covered slice of bread with another piece to complete the sandwich. Cut each into neat triangles by slicing diagonally.
04 -
First, press each triangle into the flour so the edges are fully dusted. Then quickly dip them into the egg mixture. Make sure they're fully covered.
05 -
Pour sunflower oil into a frying pan so it's about 1/4 inch deep. Make sure the oil is hot enough (a small bread piece should bubble and float). Fry the sandwiched triangles until both sides are crispy and golden.
06 -
Move the fried sandwiches onto some paper towels to soak up the excess oil. Give them a minute to cool before digging in.
# Notes:
01 -
For crispy triangles, check that the oil is hot before frying.
02 -
Let the fried sandwiches sit on paper towels to soak up extra oil and cool slightly.
03 -
You can swap or add fillings like roasted veggies, prosciutto, sun-dried tomatoes, or anchovies for extra flavor.
