Prepare the Ingredients:
Start by slicing the mozzarella into thick rounds, ideal for melting. Drain the anchovy fillets from the oil and set them aside. -
-
Assemble the Skewers:
Take a slice of long sandwich bread and layer it with slices of mozzarella. Next, add a few anchovy fillets on top of the cheese. Repeat the process by layering more mozzarella and anchovies. Finish with another slice of bread on top. -
Skewer the Sandwiches:
Using four skewers, insert them into the shortest side of the bread slices, creating 4 individual skewers per sandwich. Continue until all sandwiches are skewered and ready for frying. -
Coat the Skewers:
Dip each skewer first into the milk, then into the beaten eggs. For an extra crispy crust, repeat the process, dipping them once more into the beaten eggs before moving to the breadcrumbs. Make sure each skewer is evenly coated. -
Fry the Skewers:
In a pan, heat peanut oil to 150°C (300°F). Fry the skewers in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them until golden brown and crispy on all sides. -
Drain and Serve:
Once fried, remove the skewers from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot, and enjoy these golden, crunchy, and savory skewers as a delightful appetizer.
