Macedonian cheese toast (przeni lepcinja)

Literally “fried bread slices”, these Macedonian favourites are a little bit like savoury a pain perdu (French toast) scattered with cheese. This version goes one step further, filling the bread for a cheese-overloaded multicultural mash-up.

Ingredients

  • 8 eggs
  • 250 ml (1 cup) milk
  • 10 thin slices sourdough
  • 3 cups grated mozzarella
  • 50 g butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 200 g firm feta cheese, crumbled
Soaking time: 10 minutes

Instructions

Beat the eggs and milk together and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a large tray. Make 5 sandwiches from the sourdough and mozzarella and soak in the egg mixture for 10 minutes, turning to coat halfway through.

Add a little of the butter and oil to a hot frying pan over medium heat and fry the sandwiches, in batches, on both sides until golden and the cheese is melted. Halve the sandwiches and arrange on a platter. Scatter with the feta and serve immediately.
