Ingredients

  • 60 g Bread, white
  • 60 g Mozzarella, fresh

Method

  1. Make a sandwich with the bread and sliced mozzarella, tucking in the anchovy; press the edges to help seal in the cheese.
  2. Dredge the sandwich in the flour, dip in the beaten egg, then coat in the breadcrumbs, pressing firmly, especially at the edges, so the filling doesn't leak out.

  5. Drain briefly and serve hot, while the cheese is still stretchy.
