Mozzarella en Corrozza

Serves: to serve 4

Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 10 Minutes

Ready In: 20 mins

Ingredients

12 oz - buffalo mozzarella

8 slices - soft white bread

½ cup - milk

2 oz - plain flour (all-purpose flour)

3 large - eggs

  - salt and pepper

  - olive oil

Directions

1. Drain the mozzarella (if it's still in its water) and remove the crusts from the bread. Slice the mozzarella and divide among 4 slices of bread. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread to create simple 'mozzarella sandwiches'.
2. Pour the milk into a soup bowl, the flour into another, and beat the egg with salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste in a third. Heat about 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-hot heat. Dunk the sandwiches briefly, one by one, in the milk, then dredge in the flour, then dip in the beaten egg. Fry on both sizes until golden and crisp (about 10 minutes). The mozzarella should be completely melted and very "stringy" when the sandwich is eaten. Remove from the pan to a paper towel and allow to drain for a few seconds, then slice the sandwiches in half to make 2 triangles. Apply liberally to face!
