Equipment

  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Rolling pin
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Skillet or deep pot

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices white sandwich bread
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • Cilantro to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Salttt to taste
  • Breadcrumbs for coating
  • Oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Boil the eggs for 15 minutes so the filling is firm enough to mash and spread.
  • Mash the cooked eggs and stir in the seasonings so the filling is evenly flavored.
  • Add the mayonnaise a little at a time to make the egg filling rich, smooth and easy to spread.
  • Flatten the bread and trim off the crusts so the sandwich is easier to seal around the edges.
  • Fill the bread with the egg mixture and mozzarella, then press the edges firmly so the cheese stays inside.
  • Dip each sandwich in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs for an even crunchy crust.
  • Fry the sandwiches in hot oil until golden, then drain and serve right away for the best texture.
