Method

Dip the slices of bread in milk for a few seconds but do not soak them. Drain, then place the mozzarella on one piece of bread and put the other on top to make a sandwich. Dip in flour seasoned with salt, then the eggs. Shallow-fry in a good quantity of oil for 5 minutes until golden, turning once. Serve immediately with a little dipping sauce of passata and chopped basil.
