Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 4 slices bread
Warm vegetable oil in a saucepan, as much as liked.
Oil, egg wash and flour
  • vegetable oil
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 100 ml fresh milk
  • salt
  • pepper
  • flour
Mix one egg per sandwich with 100 ml milk, salt and pepper very well; set aside. Set out a little flour.
  • fresh mozzarella
  • prosciutto
  • grilled sweet potatoes
Cut the crusts off a moist bread. Layer sliced fresh mozzarella, thin slices of prosciutto, grilled sweet potato, grilled zucchini and asiago, then close the sandwich.
Assembling the sandwich
  • grilled zucchini
  • asiago cheese
Press hard; dip every edge in the flour, then into the eggs, covering the edges and sides, so the oil does not get inside and make it heavy.
Sealing the edges with flour and egg
Fry in oil at 150 degrees for about two minutes, until golden brown and the mozzarella has melted inside.
