Ingredients

  • 2 thick slices of good country white bread, crusts removed
  • a little milk
  • 1 large slice of buffalo mozzarella
  • plain flour, for dusting
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • olive oil, for shallow-frying
  • passata and chopped basil, to serve

Method

Dip the slices of bread in milk for a few seconds but do not soak them. Drain, then place the mozzarella on one piece of bread and put the other on top to make a sandwich. Dip this first in flour seasoned with salt, and then in the eggs. Shallow-fry in a good quantity of oil for 5 minutes until golden, turning once.
Serve immediately with a little dipping sauce of passata and chopped basil.
