Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Slice the light mozzarella and pat it very dry with kitchen paper to prevent the bread from getting soggy.
3. Place the mozzarella slices between two slices of white bread, pressing the edges firmly to seal the sandwich.
4. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the skimmed milk and a pinch of salt.
5. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring the edges are well soaked, then let any excess drip off.
6. Place the sandwiches on the tray, lightly brush with olive oil, and bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden.
7. Wash the cherry tomatoes and rocket, then toss them with a drop of oil to serve as a fresh side salad.

Tips

• For an even crunchier result, you can cook these in the air fryer at 190°C for about 8-10 minutes.
• Ensure the mozzarella is very dry; if it releases water, the bread won't become crispy.
