Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sandwiches

    Slice the mozzarella into thick pieces. Place a slice of mozzarella between two slices of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat for the remaining mozzarella and bread.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading Station

    Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour mixed with salt and pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Coat the Sandwiches

    Take each sandwich and coat it in the flour mixture, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Make sure each sandwich is fully covered.

  4. 4

    Fry the Sandwiches

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded sandwiches in the skillet. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Cut in half and serve hot.
