Description

This sandwich is basically the melty, gooey baby of grilled cheese and French toast!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces whole-milk or fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices good sandwich bread (like from a bakery!)
  • 4 eggs, stirred with salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup flour, stirred with salt and pepper
  • Basil and/or microgreens for garnish, if desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°.  Add vegetable oil to a large cast-iron skillet until you have about 1/2-inch of oil.  Heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches about 350°.  Dredge sandwiches in flour mixture and pass through the egg mixture right before you are going to fry them.  Place sandwiches in skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until lightly golden.  Line a large baking sheet with paper towels and drain the sandwiches after frying.
  2. Place the pan in oven for about 5 minutes to melt the cheese, or for the amount of time it takes you to load the dishwasher!  Let stand for 2 minutes before slicing in half so your cheese stays in the sandwich.  Garnish with basil or microgreens and marinara sauce, if you like.  Serve each person a half sandwich for a starter!
