Ingredients
- 3 1/2 ounces/100 g prosciutto cotto, thinly sliced
- 1 ball buffalo mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
- 1 pound anchovies, heads removed, gutted and cleaned
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Olive oil, for frying
Directions
Lay slices of prosciutto and mozzarella between 2 anchovy fillets (like a sandwich), and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour the breadcrumbs and flour onto 2 separate plates, and put the egg in a small bowl. Dredge the anchovies in the flour, followed by the egg wash, and then in the breadcrumbs. Heat olive oil in a pan until very hot, and then fry the anchovies in batches until golden on both sides.
