prep time:  tbd
cook time:  tbd
servings:  16

ingredients:
8 thin slices white bread
8 slices mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup fine bread crumbs
2 eggs 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup olive oil

steps:
1.  cut the crusts off the bread and cute the slices in halves, making 16 pieces.  place the cheese between the slices of bread making a sandwich.  dip the edges of the sandwich in milk, and then bread crumbs. 

2.  beat eggs slightly with the salt.  dip entire sandwich into beaten eggs.

3.  heat olive oil or butter in a 5-inch frying pan to about 350 degrees.  olive oil should be enough to cover the sandwich completely so add more if necessary.  fry not more than 2 or 3 pieces at a time until pale gold.  if necessary, turn the sandwich prior to removing from pan.
