Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices White sandwich bread
- 200 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices Prosciutto
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 50 ml Milk
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
Instructions
Lay 4 slices of white sandwich bread on a flat surface. Place 1 slice of prosciutto on each slice, followed by an even layer of mozzarella cheese (approximately 50 grams per sandwich). Top with another slice of bread to form a sandwich.
Press the edges of the sandwich slightly to seal. If desired, you can trim the crusts for a more uniform shape.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. In the third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
Dip each sandwich into the flour, ensuring all sides are lightly coated. Then, dip the sandwich into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, and finally coat it evenly with breadcrumbs.
In a deep pan or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). To test, drop a small breadcrumb into the oil—it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully add the sandwiches to the hot oil, cooking 2 at a time to avoid crowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the sandwiches from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Allow the sandwiches to cool slightly before slicing in half diagonally. Serve warm and enjoy!
