- Preparation: 15 min
- Cooking: 10 min
- Makes: 1 serving (215 g)
- Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients
- 60 g Bread, white
- 60 g Mozzarella, fresh
- 10 g Flour, all-purpose
- 40 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 20 g Breadcrumbs, dry
- 20 g Vegetable oil
- 5 g Anchovies, canned in oil
Method
- Make a sandwich with the bread and sliced mozzarella, tucking in the anchovy; press the edges to help seal in the cheese.
- 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.

- Fry the sandwich for about 2-3 minutes per side until deep golden and the cheese has melted inside.
- Drain briefly and serve hot, while the cheese is still stretchy.
