4 slices sandwich bread, crusts removed
3 to 4 ounces mozzarella cheese cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
3 tablespoons whole milk
Salt, preferably kosher
Freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup Marinara Sauce

1
Cover 2 slices of the bread with the mozzarella slices, and top with the other 2 slices of bread.
2
Carefully slice the sandwiches in half diagonally.
3
On a large piece of wax paper, place the flour on one side, and the breadcrumbs on the other.
4
In a shallow bowl, mix together the egg, Pecorino, milk, and salt and pepper to taste.
5
Dredge the sandwich triangles in the flour, and shake off any excess.
6
Then dip them into the egg mixture, making sure that the sides are dampened also.
7
Then coat them in the breadcrumbs, coating the sides as well.
8
Let the triangles rest for 5 to 10 minutes, to let the breadcrumbs adhere well.
9
Heat a medium-size frying pan (large enough to hold all the triangles) over medium-high heat.
10
Add oil to a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
11
When the oil is hot (test by putting a comer of one of the triangles into the oilit should sizzle immediately), add the triangles and fry until the bread has browned, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
12
Turn to the other side and fry for another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
13
Transfer to paper towels to drain.
