Ingredients

Instructions

1. Cut the mozzarella into slices about 1 cm thick.
2. Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and whisk well. Add the milk, salt and pepper and mix again.
3. Cut the crusts off the bread, taking care not to remove too much of the white part.
4. Pour oil into a frying pan and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches about 150°C.
5. Lay the mozzarella slices side by side on 2 slices of bread. Place 2-3 thin slices of Prosciutto di Parma on top, then cover with a plain slice of bread and press gently to seal tightly.
6. Dust the edges of the sandwich in the flour, turning it until all edges are coated.
7. Dip the sandwich fully in the egg and milk mixture, then lift it so the excess drips back into the bowl.
8. Fry the sandwich in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes, until it just turns lightly golden.
9. Lift it out with a utensil that drains oil well and rest it on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the rest and serve warm while the cheese is still melted.
