Preparation

Step 1

Whisk the eggs with some salt in a shallow bowl. Sprinkle the flour over one plate and the breadcrumbs over another. Place the thinly sliced mozzarella cheese on two slices of the bread, top with the other two slices to make two sandwiches. Cut each sandwich in half. Heat enough oil to come about 1/4 inch up the side of your frying pan. Holding each sandwich firmly together, dip them first in the flour, making sure all sides are covered. Then dip them in the egg, then in the bread crumbs until well coated. Fry them over medium heat until they become golden brown on each side. Place them on a plate covered in paper towels, to allow the excess oil to drain off. Serve immediately.
