INGREDIENTS
- 8 slices day-old Italian bread
- 1 cup (250 mL) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 pkg (125 g) Mastro® Capocollo
- 1/3 cup (75 mL) sliced, drained, jarred roasted red peppers
- 3 eggs

- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) finely chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- Top half of the bread slices with half of the mozzarella, capocollo, red peppers and remaining cheese. Cap with remaining bread slices.
- In shallow baking dish, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Heat half of the oil in large skillet set over medium-low heat; dip two sandwiches into egg mixture, coating completely.
- Cook for about 4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining sandwiches and oil. To serve, cut sandwiches in half and sprinkle with parsley.
