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
- 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.
- 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!
