Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices White sandwich bread
- 8 slices Fresh mozzarella
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
Instructions
Lay out the sandwich bread slices on a cutting board and remove the crusts from all slices.
Place a slice of fresh mozzarella on one piece of bread and cover it with a second slice, forming a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread and mozzarella to create four sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich into four equal squares.
Prepare the dredging station: In one shallow bowl, add the flour. In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each sandwich square into the flour, ensuring all sides are evenly coated. Shake off the excess.
Next, dip the floured sandwich square into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Finally, coat the square in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating. Repeat with all sandwich squares.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place a few sandwich squares into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Fry each side for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried sandwich squares using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Thread three or four fried sandwich squares onto each skewer.
Serve the skewers warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
