Pandorato - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 slices mozzarella cheese (plain or smoked or a combo)
4 slices prosciutto (paper-thin slices)
8 slices Italian bread, 1/2-inch thick
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, bruised with the side of a knife

Preparation

Place the mozzarella slices and prosciutto between the bread slices to make 4 sandwiches.
Whisk the eggs and milk together in a shallow bowl/pie plate.
Dip the sandwiches in the egg mixture to coat.
Heat the oil, butter, and garlic in a medium skillet until the garlic begins to sizzle and turns golden; discard the garlic.
Add the sandwiches and cook over med-low heat until the bread is golden and the cheese melts, about 3 minutes on each side.
Cut in half and serve immediately.
