Ingredients
  • 12 slices soft white bread
  • 6 thick slices (about 1 pound) part-skim, low moisture, mozzarella
  • 6 thick slices salami
  • 6 thick slices mortadella
  • 6 thin slices proscuitto
  • 4 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
Instructions
  1. Lay 6 slices of the bread out on the work surface.
  2. Lay 1 slice of the mozzarella as well as a slice of each meat on each slice of bread.
  3. Cover with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.
  4. Cut the crust edges of the bread slices away.
  5. Press the edges of the bread to seal (it will not seal entirely).
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine the lightly beaten eggs with the milk, oregano, salt and pepper.
  7. Whisk to combine.
  8. Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture one by one to coat (let the excess run off) and set aside.
  9. Using a large non-stick skillet or sauté pan, add a small amount of the oil and butter (about 1 tablespoon each of olive oil and butter) in the pan and heat until smoking.
  10. Place the sandwich in the hot skillet and brown on one side, flip the sandwich and brown on the other side.
  11. Repeat by adding more oil and butter to the pan.
  12. Fry each sandwich in this manner.
  13. To serve, cut each sandwich into two triangles.
  14. Serve with warm marinara dipping sauce.
