List of Ingredients
Vegetable oil or shortening for deep frying
4 eggs
3 Tbl milk
loaf sliced French bread
1 cup milk
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 pound Mozzarella cheese
Recipe
Heat 3 to 4 inches of oil or shortening to 375 in a deep-fat fryer or large heavy saucepan. Using a cookie cutter or a small glass, cut the slices of French or Italian bread into 3-inch rounds. Then slice the mozzarella cheese inch thick; the slices should be a little smaller than the circles of bread. Make sandwiches of the bread and cheese. In a small mixing bowl beat together the 4 eggs and 3 tablespoons of milk. Pour a cup of milk into another bowl and spread the bread crumbs on a sheet of wax paper. Dip each sandwich in the milk briefly, press the edges of the bread together to seal them, then coat both sides of the sandwiches thoroughly with bread crumbs. To seal the edges even more securely, roll the sandwiches slowly through the bread crumbs like cartwheels. Dip the sandwiches, one at a time, in the egg mixture, then fry them in the hot oil until they are golden brown on each side. Drain on paper towels and serve while still hot.
