Ingredients

• 1 pkg. (11.25 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Garlic Texas Toast, thawed
• 3/4 lb. fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup plain dry bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3 cups Prego® Chunky Garden Tomato, Onion and Garlic Italian Sauce

Preparation

Step 1

1

Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut each toast in half.

2

Divide the cheese slices among 8 toast halves. Top with the remaining toast halves.

3

Place the flour, eggs and bread crumbs into separate shallow bowls. Beat the eggs with a fork.

4

Coat the sandwiches with the flour. Dip the sandwiches into the eggs. Coat the sandwiches with the bread crumbs.

5

Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the sandwiches in batches and cook until they're well browned on both sides. Place the sandwiches onto a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

6

Heat the sauce in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat until it's hot and bubbling. Serve the sandwiches with the sauce for dipping.
