Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound fresh buffalo mozzarella, cut into 4 equal pieces about 3-inches by 4-inches
8 1/2-inch thick firm white sandwich bread
2 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, leaves
1 teaspoon coarse salt
A grating of nutmeg
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Place the mozzarella on 4 slices of the bread. Cover with the remaining slices to form sandwiches. Trim the crusts off to make perfect 4-inch squares.
  • In a wide shallow bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the cream, thyme leaves, salt, and nutmeg. Whisk until well blended.
  • In a 10 to 12-inch nonstick saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and cook until the sizzling subsides. Dip 2 of the sandwiches into the egg mixture, turning to coat, place in the pan, and cook until golden brown on the first side, about 2 minutes. Flip over and brown on the other side. Transfer the sandwiches to individual plates and repeat the process with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon butter, and 2 sandwiches. Cut in half, and serve immediately.

I'm not a big fan of pesto, but I still enjoyed these sandwiches. The cheese was melted perfectly and the bread was crispy.

These sandwiches were a little too rich for my taste. The cheese was very heavy and the bread was too buttery.

These sandwiches were okay. The cheese was melted well, but the bread was a little too dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The sandwiches are cheesy, gooey, and delicious. I like to add a little bit of arugula for some extra flavor.

This recipe was a disaster. The cheese didn't melt properly and the bread was soggy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These sandwiches were easy to make and tasted great. I used a loaf of sourdough bread and it was perfect. I also added some roasted red peppers and they were a nice addition.
