Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place 2 slices of bread on a plate. Top each with 2 oz mozzarella, then cover with the remaining bread slices. Press gently to seal.

  2. Step 2

    In a shallow bowl, whisk the 2 eggs. Spread the 0.5 cup flour on a plate. Dip each sandwich in the egg, then coat both sides with flour.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side.

  4. Step 4

    While the sandwiches cook, warm the 1 cup tomato sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until hot.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the sandwiches hot with the warm tomato sauce on the side for dipping.
