Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices White bread slices
- 200 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Cut the mozzarella cheese into slices about 0.5 cm thick.
Lay 4 slices of bread on a flat surface. Top each slice with mozzarella slices, ensuring the cheese doesn't extend beyond the edges of the bread.
Cover with the remaining 4 slices of bread to form sandwiches. Press down gently to seal the layers together.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the flour onto a plate and the breadcrumbs onto another plate.
Dredge each sandwich in the flour, coating both sides evenly. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). If you don't have a thermometer, drop a breadcrumb into the oil—it should sizzle and float to the surface immediately.
Carefully lower each sandwich into the hot oil using tongs or a slotted spoon. Fry 1-2 sandwiches at a time, depending on the size of your pan, to avoid overcrowding.
Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Allow the sandwiches to cool slightly before cutting them in half or serving whole. Serve warm for the best gooey mozzarella experience.
