  • Ripened Pecorino Toscano PDO g 40

Ingredients

  • Loaf of bread 20 slices
  • Fresh Pecorino
  • Toscano DOP g 500
  • Eggs 5
  • Anchovy filet 20
  • White flour to taste
  • Tuscan oil PGI to taste
  • Salt to taste


Proceeding

Remove the rind from the sliced loaf of bread.
Slice the Pecorino Toscano DOP and place it on 10 slices of bread (make sure not to extend beyond the edges) and put an anchovy fillet in the middle.
Cover with the remaining slices of bread and gently squeeze.
Hold them firmly in order to prevent them from widening and press the slices’ edges on a tray filled with flour.
Soak the edges into cold water which will create a kind of glue that will prevent the Pecorino Toscano PDO from leaking when you cook it.
Scramble the eggs with a pinch of salt and generously soak the bread that was already prepared. The slices of bread must absorb as much of the eggs as possible.
Fry both sides with boiling oil and serve.
