PRESENTATION

How to cook eggs? In addition to all the classic ways, including boiled, here is a rich and complete second course you can prepare in 30 minutes: eggs in bread! We've chosen typical michetta rolls, a traditional hollow roll from the Lombardy region: their characteristic, crisp crust and soft inner with lots of space make them perfect for filling! We've chosen to enrich the eggs with smoked mozzarella (provola cheese) and tomato, which are all baked in the oven for a delicious and original dish: the mozzarella will melt and the egg yolk will stay nice and soft! In this captivating recipe you'll discover a new way to enjoy eggs, by making a sandwich that is simply delicious!
