Serve immediately while hot and stringy, perhaps with a marinara dipping sauce or a simple green salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
Variations:
Add a slice of ham or cooked spinach between the mozzarella for extra flavor.
Use gluten-free bread and breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
Replace mozzarella with provolone or a smoked cheese for a deeper taste.
