Mozzarella toast is a true delight of Italian cuisine, easy to prepare and delicious in taste. The origins of this dish lie in the traditions of quick home snacks, where slices of bread were soaked in egg and fried to a crispy crust. The tender, stretchy mozzarella inside creates a perfect balance with the crunchy shell, while a hint of sea salt enhances the depth of flavor. These toasts can be served as an appetizer, alongside soups and salads, or simply enjoyed with aromatic coffee. They are great for a cozy family breakfast, a quick snack, or even festive treats. The classic combination of cheese and bread makes them versatile and beloved worldwide.
